Busting a Common Myth About Tick and Flea Control

Ticks and fleas are nasty common parasites that plague dogs and cats on a regular basis. These parasites love to suck blood from their hosts, and excessive blood loss can happen if a heavy infestation is left unnoticed and unhampered. Ticks and fleas also serve as carriers of other health issues.

There is a lot of reliable information about ticks and fleas on the internet. But despite this, a lot of myths still abound and confuse many pet owners. One well-known myth is the “fact” that summer is the only period when ticks and fleas “attack” (dogs and cats) and proliferate. The truth is that tick and flea infestation can happen all year round, although summer months is a peak season for their infestation. The risk of infestation is high especially if you live in a warm part of the country for most of the year. One preventive measure is to use a topical medication. Ask your veterinarian Ashburn, VA about it.
