Pet Owners: Be Careful When Buying Flea & Tick Products!

Not all flea and tick products are created equal — and unfortunately, counterfeit or fake products can look very similar to the real thing.

Before purchasing flea & tick prevention online or from an unfamiliar seller, take a few minutes to learn how to spot the difference.

✅ Purchase from your veterinary clinic whenever possible
✅ Stick with trusted, name-brand products
✅ Be cautious of unusually low prices or unfamiliar sellers
✅ Check the packaging carefully for anything that looks suspicious

Your pet’s health isn't worth the risk of saving a few dollars.
