Why is consistent flea prevention one of the most important things for your puppy?

If you prevent flea and tick bites rather than treat them after, your puppy won't get tapeworms or have bites that can cause severe itching and flea allergy dermatitis. In addition, you can help prevent diseases that fleas and ticks carry such as Lyme Disease, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever and Tick Paralysis.  The latest medicines have provided effective and safe flea and tick prevention products. Flea & tick meds help your pet prevent:

1.       Tapeworms

2.       Lyme Disease

3.       Ehrlichia

4.       Flea allergies

5.       Skin infections

6.       Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever

7.       Fleas and ticks in your home

Using a flea prevention medicine, you can keep fleas from infesting not only your puppy, but your home. If you live in an area with year-long flea issues, use flea preventative medication monthly. This can include homes in the South, homes in the North with barns or garages where fleas survive the cold, and homes with pets that have serious flea-allergy problems.
