Flea & Tick Prevention
Since both your pet and its environment contain fleas in carious stages of development, a flea control program must consider fleas on the pet and in the environment.
Many flea products are not compatible with each other and cannot be used in combination. Also, some insecticides for dogs should not be used on cats.
Veterinarians are concerned, as you are, about insecticide exposure to you, your pet and your household. Considerations will be given to these factors in tailoring a flea-control program for your individual circumstances. Keep the insecticides away from children. Be sure to read the container's label carefully before using chemicals and insecticides.

Ticks are blood-sucking parasites that infest most animals and sometimes people. Their life cycle is complex and involves one or more species of animals as host. Female ticks deposit their eggs in the environment, rater than on the animal.
Ticks attach to the skin and feed on the animal's blood. Tick bites may become infected, and some ticks produce toxin that can cause paralysis and even death. Ticks also spread several serious diseases of animals and people, such as Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever & Lyme disease.
