Flea and Tick Prevention for Dogs and Cats

Monthly flea and tick prevention is a very important part of your animal’s health care and comfort. Not only can fleas cause severe itching, but some dogs and cats are allergic to flea saliva, which can lead to a condition known as flea allergy dermatitis. Fleas and ticks can also transmit infectious diseases such as tapeworms (as a result of ingesting the flea), Mycoplasma in cats, Lyme disease, Ehrlichia, and Anaplasma. At The Heights Veterinary Clinic we will recommend the best flea and tick prevention for your pet’s lifestyle and exposure level.
