Flea and Ticks – Every Pet and Pawrents Enemy
Fleas and Ticks are common pests for pets, (especially in Spring and Summer), and can irritate your pet and cause excessive itching and areas of sensitivity. On top of this, flea and tick bites and infestations can lead to more serious illness which may require a costly visit to the vet. That’s why prevention is key for pet parents, wherever possible, and what better time to talk about prevention than during Flea and Tick Awareness week?

Prevention is Key!
Preventing fleas and ticks should be an essential part of your Dog’s weekly/monthly routine. Ensure, you regularly check your dog’s coat and consult your vet if you have any concerns.
