Flea and Tick Control

Fleas and ticks are a common problem on cats and dogs, particularly those that spend time outdoors. Because fleas and ticks can transmit diseases such as tapeworms and Lyme disease and cause serious health conditions such as anemia, it is suggested that you make use of the simple fl ea and tick treatments available on the market. A flea infestation can be seen by the “fl ea dirt” on your pet’s coat (this will look like a fine, black grime that will dilute red in water), excessive licking, biting, or scratching, skin irritation, hair loss, pale gums, and tapeworms. 

Ticks often do not irritate the host, so you will have to examine your pet closely in order to monitor for ticks. Consult your veterinarian for treatment if you notice any fleas, ticks, or characteristics of fl

eas or ticks. Do not rely on over the counter treatment unless advised by your veterinarian.
