🐾 The weather in Rhode Island may be cooling down, but flea and tick prevention is still important! 🍂
Just because the temperatures are dropping doesn’t mean fleas and ticks have disappeared! These pesky parasites can remain active well into the cooler months, and some can even survive year-round.
Did you know that even if your pet spends most of their time indoors, they can still be at risk? Fleas and ticks can hitch a ride into your home on your clothing, shoes, or other pets. That means you could unknowingly bring an unwanted guest home to your furry friend!
Fleas can also thrive inside our warm homes, regardless of how chilly it gets outside.
Year-round flea and tick prevention is one of the best ways to help keep your pet protected. Talk with your veterinarian about the safest and most effective preventative for your pet.
