Fleas and ticks are more than just a nuisance—they can harm your dog’s health and infest your home. At The Hometown Veterinarian in Marshalltown, IA, we offer effective, year-round flea and tick prevention solutions to protect your pet and family.
Why Year-Round Flea and Tick Prevention is Essential
Did you know fleas and ticks can survive even in winter? Once indoors, fleas multiply rapidly, laying up to 50 eggs per day, and ticks can persist in sheltered areas. These parasites can cause:
- Flea allergy dermatitis
- Tapeworm infections
- Tick-borne diseases, including Lyme disease, ehrlichiosis, and anaplasmosis
By using preventatives like NexGard and Seresto collars, you’ll protect your dog from parasites and their associated diseases, keeping them healthy and comfortable all year long.
Our Flea and Tick Prevention Products
We offer a range of effective options to protect your dog, including:
- NexGard: Monthly chewable that kills fleas and ticks before they spread disease.
- NexGard Plus: A combination product that protects against fleas, ticks, heartworms, and intestinal parasites.
- Seresto Collars: Long-lasting, 8-month protection against fleas and ticks in an easy-to-use collar.
Additionally, you can explore other trusted flea and tick preventatives in our online pharmacy, where a variety of options are available for your convenience.
The Importance of Prevention
Preventing fleas and ticks is far easier and safer than treating an infestation or managing related diseases. Protecting your dog ensures their comfort and reduces risks for your family.
Fleas and ticks can cause:
- Severe itching and skin infections
- Allergic reactions (flea allergy dermatitis)
- Transmission of harmful parasites, like tapeworms
- Serious illnesses, including Lyme disease, ehrlichiosis, and anaplasmosis
