Know the Enemy: Types of Ticks & Fleas + How to Fight Back

 Why Regular De-fleaing & Tick Prevention Matter for Your Pets

Fleas and ticks are more than just a nuisance—they can cause serious health problems for your pets, including severe itching, skin infections, anemia, and diseases like Lyme disease, ehrlichiosis, and tapeworms. Even a single flea can lay up to 50 eggs per day, quickly leading to a full-blown infestation in your home.

Regular de-fleaing and tick prevention protect your pets from constant discomfort and reduce the risk of long-term health issues. Using monthly treatments—whether spot-on, oral, or collars—helps keep these parasites away, especially in warm and humid climates where they thrive.

Not only does prevention protect your pets, it also protects your family. Fleas and ticks can bite humans and spread zoonotic diseases like cat scratch fever and tick-borne illnesses.

By keeping up with prevention, you're ensuring:

• A healthier, happier pet

• A cleaner, safer home

• Fewer vet visits and lower long-term costs

• Peace of mind for your whole household

A little prevention goes a long way—de-flea regularly and keep ticks away!
