Protect From Ticks and Fleas All Year Long
Don't let your guard down when it comes to fleas and ticks. The worst time for fleas is the fall, and fleas will still be in the environment until it snows.
Ticks carry different types of diseases including Lyme disease. Make sure your pet is protected.
Preventing Heartworm Issues
Heartworms are 6 to 8-inch thin worms that live in your animal's heart and lungs, blocking blood vessels. They are capable of causing a slow, painful death for any pet.
Symptoms include coughing, fainting, and trouble in breathing. The best way to prevent heartworm concerns is to provide your pet with medicine each month.
If this is not treated, it can cause permanent damage to the heart and lungs, and perhaps even death. It can be treated and is preventable. Routine testing and prevention are recommended.
