Flea and Tick Season is Upon Us

Flea season will soon be upon us.  We recommend treating your dogs and outside cats for fleas from May to November.  If you have any problems with ticks or your dog or cat spends a lot of time in areas with heavy brush or in the woods, you may want to use Frontline monthly on your pet.  Otherwise, Advantage is a good option for fleas only.  We do not carry or recommend Advantix.  Advantix (for dogs only) has harsher chemicals in it that do kill ticks and repels mosquitos, but if it is inadvertently applied to cat, it can kill them.  Some dogs also have reactions to it.  If you'd like to pick up Advantage or Frontline, stop in or call anytime.
