!!!!Be Prepared !!!!
Those pesky critters are back to ruin your family outdoor fun. Warm weather means BBQ’’s, pool parties and camping with the 4-legged members of the family. As fun as this may sound – it can quickly become miserable due to the pesky critters that also enjoy the warmth and humidity. 
All of these critters (fleas, ticks, mosquitoes, flies, mites & lice) can be a nuisance, but they can also be harmful to your pets health
The simple scratching and irritation can cause painful hot spots and skin infections. 
Flea infestation can cause anemia, flea allergy dermatitis, bartonellosis, tapeworm and tularemia. 
Ticks can transmit diseases such as lyme disease, rocky mountain spotted fever and bartonellosis. 
Mosquitoes can transmit west nile virus.
Sand flies, lice and mites can cause leishmaniasis, dermatitis and walking dandruff. 
By using a monthly flea product on your pet you can control and possibly eliminate the problem. It is important to use a product that contains both and adulticide and insect growth regulator (95% of the flea population is immature flea eggs/larvae/pupae). Fleas can multiply very quickly - laying over 2000 eggs each day
 
Prevent your fun from being cut short & more importantly keep them healthy!!
