While winter might seem like a time to take a break from worrying about fleas and ticks, these pesky parasites can remain active year-round in many areas, including indoors. Central heating in homes and milder winter days provide the perfect environment for fleas, while certain tick species can survive colder temperatures, especially if they find a host.

Here’s how you can keep your pet safe this winter:

• Year-Round Preventatives: Ensure your pet stays on their flea and tick prevention medication throughout the winter months. Missing doses can leave them vulnerable, even in colder weather.
• Check for Hitchhikers: After walks or outdoor play, inspect your pet for ticks, especially around their ears, neck, paws, and underbelly.
• Schedule a Check-Up: If you’re unsure about your pet’s parasite prevention plan, we’re here to help! Book a consultation, and we can recommend the best products tailored to your pet’s needs.
