A Welcome Message From Dr. Kelsey
Flea and Tick Season Is Here
Spring is almost here which means it’s time to start your favorite canine companion back on flea and tick prevention. Don’t let your dog suffer from those pesky parasites. Did you know that one female flea can lay up to 40 eggs per day? Of course, fleas and ticks aren’t just annoying parasites but they cause and carry diseases. Some dogs are extremely allergic to just a single bite from a flea and can itch for weeks around the base of the tail. They also are the cause of tapeworms in dogs. Also, ticks carry diseases such as Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, Ehrlichia, and Lyme disease.
We have several great products for you to choose from. Promeris is our monthly topical flea and tick preventative. We also are carrying Comfortis, a brand new monthly flea tablet that is working great. If you have a serious problem with ticks, we have a very effective tick control collar that lasts for three months. Stop by and pick-up your supply today!
