Protecting dogs and cats from parasites is an important part of responsible pet ownership. Fleas, ticks, and mosquitoes are three troublesome pests that can cause pets discomfort and transmit dangerous diseases. For example, mosquitoes are the vector of heartworms, meaning they can carry and transmit this internal parasite to dogs and cats.
In the Southern United States, there is no real “off season” for fleas, ticks, or mosquitoes. Veterinarians recommend using year-round parasite control to ensure your pet is always protected from these pests.
