​Parasite Prevention

• ​Think your indoor do or cat is safe from fleas? Think again, because hitchhiker fleas can catch a ride inside on clothes or shoes. And one female flea can lay 50 eggs or more a day! So be sure to protect your cat.
• Not so fun fact: A single flea can bite your pet more than 400 times — in just 1 day! Be sure to keep all of your pets protected year-round.
• The bite of just 1 mosquito infected with heartworm larvae can spread heartworm disease to your pet. Easy to prevent, hard to treat. Ask us for ways to prevent trouble.

Warm Weather

• WARM WEATHER WARNING: Don’t leave your pet in the car, even for a minute. The temperature inside your vehicle can rise almost 20º F in just 10 minutes.
• HOT! Sidewalk Hazard Test: Place the back of your hand on the pavement or beach. If you can’t hold it there comfortably for 5 seconds, it’s too hot for your dog to walk on.
• Be sure to watch over pets around pools, lakes and other water sources because some pets can't swim. Even better, check out the latest pet life jackets.
