Frequently Asked Questions

  • How often should flea and tick prevention be used?

    Flea and tick prevention should be used regularly to remain effective. Most treatments are applied monthly, although some products may last longer depending on the type. Consistency is important, as missing treatments can leave pets vulnerable to infestations and increase the risk of health problems caused by parasites.

  • What are the signs of fleas or ticks on pets?

    Common signs include scratching, biting at the skin, hair loss and visible irritation. Ticks may be seen attached to the skin, often around the head, neck or ears. In more serious cases, symptoms such as weakness or difficulty moving may indicate tick paralysis and require immediate attention.

  • What treatment options are available for fleas and ticks?

    There are several options available, including topical treatments, oral medications and longer-lasting preventative products. The right option depends on your pet’s age, lifestyle and health needs. Consistent use of an appropriate treatment helps maintain protection and reduce the risk of infestation.
