Preventive Care - Fleas, Ticks, Heartworm
Preventive Care:
Fleas, Ticks and Heartworm
Preventive care is an important step in helping your Pet avoid common spring problems, like fleas, ticks and heartworm disease. Such pests aren’t just a nuisance for you and your Pet, but can lead to other serious medical problems. Your Banfield veterinarians offer these tips to prep your Pet for spring:
- Use flea preventives – Fleas bite, especially in humid warm weather, but use of FirstShield™ Trio or Comfortis® for your dogs and FirstShield™ for Cats and Kittens or Revolution® for your cats can help keep these pests at bay. Stop in and we can help you decide which one would be best.
- Watch out for ticks – Ticks, which can carry Lyme disease, hide easily on furry Pets. Protect your dog with FirstShield™ Trio
- Avoid heartworm – Pets can become infected with heartworm disease from just one mosquito bite. The parasite can be fatal in both dogs and cats, so all dogs and cats should be on a preventive. Stop in for advice or to pick some up right away. Pets need to be tested before started on medications.
