Flea & Tick Prevention

Fleas and ticks are more than a nuisance. They can irritate skin, spread disease, and move between pets, homes, yards, and people. Prevention helps protect the pet and the household around them.

• For pets, flea and tick prevention can reduce itching, skin problems, anemia risk, and tickborne disease exposure.
• For owners, preventing parasites is easier than clearing an infestation from a home.
• For the community, parasite control reduces the chance that fleas and ticks spread through shared spaces and other animals.

• Use products that match your pet's species, age, weight, and health status.
• Never apply dog flea or tick products to cats unless a veterinarian specifically directs it.
• Fleas can live inside warm homes year-round.
• Ticks can ride into the home on pets and may bite people.
