🐾 Flea season isn’t over just because summer is! 🐾
We’ve noticed an uptick in fleas lately! 🍂 Just because temperatures are dropping doesn’t mean fleas are going away. Remember, fleas can survive year-round, especially inside our warm homes!
🛁 Flea shampoos are not flea prevention!
While we can provide flea baths to kill fleas currently on your dog, they don’t offer lasting protection. Once your dog returns to an environment with fleas, they can become infested all over again.
⚠️ Fleas cause more than just itching!
They can lead to:
* Flea allergy dermatitis: Severe itching and allergic reactions.
* Hot spots and skin infections: Painful sores caused by scratching and biting.
* Hair loss and skin irritation: Especially around the tail, back, and belly.
* Tapeworms: Contracted by swallowing infected fleas.
* Anemia: Blood loss from heavy infestations, especially dangerous for puppies and smaller dogs.
❤️ Prevention is always easier than treating an infestation!
As always, please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions you may have! We believe an educated pet owner is the first step toward a happier, healthier pet.
Let’s keep those pups happy, healthy, and flea-free! 🐶❤️
