Spring each year means warm weather, lilacs, daffodils, and tulips in bloom and the dreaded emergence of fleas and ticks.  In most cases our recommendation is to use the highly effective oral flea and tick medications available by prescription, such as NexGard.  Topical application of Frontline Plus is also an effective preventative against flea and tick infestations.  Fleas and ticks are not only an irritation to pets and their owners but can transmit diseases and parasites.  Please stop in or call if you have any questions about your specific needs or concerns with external parasite control.  Trust us when we tell you that it is better and easier to avoid flea infestations than to try and clean them up after they happen.
