Preparing for Spring, Summer and Fall for Your Pets

Spring is right around the corner.  Have you thought about your pets heartworm or flea & tick control for this year? 

Dogs and Cats both should be on some sort of flea & tick control.  Flea's and Tick's can be around all year, not just during the warm weather months.  It is very important to your pet and your household to have these pests under contol.  There are many varities of flea & tick control products on the market today.  Some of the most popular products come in a liquid form that you place on the back of your cat or dog and can last up to a month.

Heratworm pills are also a must for your pets.  I had a dog who developed heartworm because I had forgotten to start his pills one spring and watching him go through those evasive treatments was heartbreaking. And keep in mind  that not all pets survive these treatments.   Do your pet and your pocketbook a favor and make an appointment for your pet today to be tested for heartworm.  Another thought would be to keep your pets on heartworm protection all year long.  That way giving your pets their monthly protection will be easier to remember.
