In many parts of the US, fleas and ticks become much less prevalent during the cooler winter months. Unfortunately, due to our sub-tropic climate, these nasty parasites are prevalent year-round. For this reason, keeping your furry friend on an effective flea and tick preventative is crucial all year long. At Premium Vet Care, we are here to help. We provide flea and tick prevention in Boca Raton and the surrounding areas, and we’ll come to your home to examine your pet and get them on a safe and effective preventative. 

The Importance of Parasite Prevention

Preventing parasite infestations is much easier than trying to eliminate them. Fleas reproduce quickly, so even if your dog or cat only brings a few in, your home could be overrun by them within days. Also, flea eggs can survive for up to 10 days. That means that even if you get rid of all of the live fleas, there could be hundreds (even thousands!) more waiting to hatch. Removing all of them from your pets and your home takes time and requires meticulous cleaning. 

Additionally, these nasty parasites can make your four-legged best friend sick. Ticks carry a variety of potentially devastating diseases, and fleas can cause tapeworm infestations, fur loss, and skin problems. Preventing fleas and ticks is about more than keeping your pet from scratching. It’s about helping them live a healthy, happy life.
