There is no definitive answer to this question as the benefits and drawbacks of flea and tick protection vary depending on the individual pet's specific needs. However, some general benefits of flea and tick protection include reducing the risk of developing serious health problems, reducing your pet's likelihood of getting sick, and reducing your pet's susceptibility to other diseases. Additionally, it is important to keep in mind that flea and tick prevention does not work 100% of the time, so it is always best to consult your veterinarian for advice on whether or not you should continue using it.
