Flea & Tick Prevention

 

We carry only safe, effective,  FDA-approved products

Flea & Tick Prevention

For maximum effect in the battle against fleas and ticks, we recommend combining any of the products below with a Preventic collar which lasts for 3-months and is water-proof.

Remember that conventional monthly flea and tick preventatives don’t necessarily prevent ticks from getting on your pet.  When a tick bites into the skin, it ingests the toxin and dies before it has the chance to transmit disease. Preventic collars are one of most powerful and successful tools in the tick battle, because they help to prevent the tick from getting on your pet to begin with.  However, they  don’t repel  fleas, so if you are having a problem with both – we recommend combining products.

And along with using an FDA-approved product, we recommend pet owners with fenced-in yards use an outdoor spray or powder sold at hardware stores.  You can discuss flea and tick problems with your Pest Control company and ask them to spray your yard and focus on areas frequented by your pet.

Be sure to check your dog for ticks when  it comes in at night, from  the beach or after exploring in the bush.  Look between toes, ears, and on the underbelly – areas where ticks commonly like to hide because there isn’t a lot of hair to climb in.  For this reason, short-haired dogs tend to have more problems with ticks.
