TICK PREVENTION
At Beach Avenue Animal Hospital we work with the best brand when it comes to treating fleas and ticks. This one tablet keeps your dog protected from fleas and ticks for three months! Keeping your pet protected from fleas is incredibly important.
Ticks are becoming prevalent in North America. These parasites aren’t just a nuisance; they can cause serious, and deadly diseases, including:
- Lyme disease
- Rocky Mountain spotted fever
- Babesiosis
- Ehrlichiosis
- Tick paralysis
If your pet starts coughing or has joint pain, trouble breathing, fever, weakness, or loss of appetite, weight, energy, or coordination, then you should contact you local vet clinic immediately.
It is important to note that even indoor-only pets are at risk because ticks can be transported into the house.
We recommend checking your pet for ticks every time your pet comes in from outside. And don’t hesitate to ask us any questions you might have. When you become a client at Beach Avenue Animal Hospital we will be able to provide you with a constant supply for flea and tick prevention treatment. If you visit us once a year for your medical exam, we can provide you with a yearly supply of treatment.
