Tips and Tricks to Check Your Pet For Fleas and Ticks

Small but dangerous ticks can attach to pets, even indoor ones, via human clothing or contact with other animals. Daily checks are essential for all pets. Start at the head, examining whiskers, nose, and ears, then move to the body, belly, back, paws, and tail. Feel for bumps indicating ticks, which can be black, brown, or grayish.

Fleas are prolific breeders, and an untreated infestation can quickly spread through your home, impacting your family members as well.

It’s essential to prevent fleas and ticks through vet-recommended products like Nextstar Flea and Tick Topical, which are suited to your pet's age and weight.
