Fleas can cause problems for pets ranging from minor to life-threatening. Not only can these parasites cause severe itching, irritation, and allergies, but they can also transmit tapeworms and diseases. Fleas can infest dogs, cats, ferrets, mice, and rats, and fleas don’t just stay on pets; they can bite people, too! In Southern Ontario, it’s common to see fleas active throughout the year, so we typically recommend parasite prevention year-round.
You don’t want these blood-sucking parasites on your pet or in your home! We can provide your pet with parasite-prevention medication to help keep them away or help you get rid of them if they’ve already found their way inside. For more information, see the flea article in the Pet Health Library on our site or call us to start your pet on a preventive today!
