Due to the early warm up this spring, fleas and ticks are already being spotted on pets. We recommend that you pick up your products now to protect your beloved pets. While there are many products that claim to be effective against both fleas and ticks, our experience has shown that these products are less effective than products developed for a single parasite. Since both of these parasites have the potential to be extremely harmful to you and your pet's health, we believe you will want use to the most effective products available. We recommend Advantage in your battle against fleas, and the Preventic collar against ticks.
Advantage is a once a month topical.
When using Advantage, a flea does not need to bite your pet to die, and your pet does not need to ingest any potentially harmful chemicals. You should continue to use Advantage until the first hard freeze of winter. The Preventic collar provides up to three months of protection against ticks for both your cats and your dogs. While spring is the heaviest tick season in our area, there is a second tick season in the fall. Depending on weather conditions, tick season can last from the first warm day in March to the end of September.
