With spring comes the return of warm weather in the northern states. Along with that, comes insects! Particularly fleas and mosquitos. All pet owners should become proactive! Don't let your pet suffer from flea bites or the associated dermatitis and/or allergies. Start your pet on a GOOD flea preventative that is safe and effective. You have several options: Frontline, Advantix and Comfortis. AVOID OTC preps due to numerous reports of localized dermatitis and even seizures from the application of these products. This is mainly due to the fact that they are basically household insecticides in oil. And when it comes to mosquitos, what they carry can be DEADLY!! Prevent mosquito carried heartworm disease. See your veterinarian for testing and subsequent prevention. There are great products such as Interceptor, Heartguard and Revolution which given monthly (year round) can protect your pet from this deadly disease.
