Let's talk about fleas and ticks for a moment!
I think everyone has heard that ticks are out thick, truth is ticks are insane already and it's not even warm yet, fleas too, both are dangerous, both are deadly. Natural sprays do not work and are harmful, same with cheap topicals from the dollar store. Fleas and ticks become immune to what is in the things you are giving your pets so the formulas on the flea and tick treatments need to be updated, most of the treatments you're seeing on the shelf are no longer working. Fleas have different life cycles, egg, larvae, pupae and adult, each stage needs to be stopped in its tracks or you are going to have a problem. Ticks start very tiny and can be hard to see, they can be latched on for a week or two and you won't even realize it. These little pests are deadly to our pets and can be to you too. Please make sure you are treating your pets with good treatments! Usually I am all for natural but with these bugs it's really not an option anymore.
To ensure the safety of other animals in our salon if your pet comes in with an over abundance of fleas we have no choice but to turn you away, not because we want to, because we have to.
We check every dog for ticks when drying and will let every owner know if we find any.
Things I can recommend for treatment.
Revolution
Vectra 3D (not on shelves, Amazon or chewy has it)
Simperica Trio (needs vet approval but is the absolute best and covers everything)
Nexguard (Vet approval needed)
These are the ones I KNOW WORK.
Frontline is not working anymore. I do not recommend.
