You have a canine companion at home who needs plenty of attention from you. This will sometimes mean helping him stay protected from ticks. Why is this so important?

Your pet needs to be able to thrive in your care and this won’t happen if your little fur ball is uncomfortable or dealing with parasites. To keep your pet free of ticks and anything they may be carrying, it’s best to try to avoid them altogether by steering clear of areas where they spend time. This includes places with tall grass and thick bushes. Your pet is also likely to need a commercial prevention method, many of which are included in commercial flea prevention methods designed for canine use. Talk to your pet’s veterinarian to determine the ideal tick prevention and removal methods for your pet and what’s ideal for your area.
