🌸 Spring is here — and so is flea and tick season.
As the weather warms up, fleas and ticks become active and can pose serious health risks to your pets. Here's what you need to know:
🔴 Fleas can cause skin irritation, allergic reactions, and transmit tapeworms
🔴 Ticks can transmit Lyme disease, ehrlichiosis, and other serious illnesses
✅ Year-round prevention is the safest approach
✅ Ask us about the best prevention options for your pet's lifestyle
Don't wait until you find a tick to start prevention. Call us today to discuss the right protection plan for your pet.
