Here at Mission Mobile Vet Services, we are proud to offer flea and tick prevention to our patients.

Fleas can be horrible. Not only do they infest your animals, but also they live in many dark spaces in your home. They like dark and warm places. They can be found in caranimal, bedding, and more. If you get fleas in your home, it is not easy to get rid of them.

Fleas cause your animals to be itchy. They may dig themselves raw until their skin gets infected. The worst part about fleas is that many animals are allergic to them. Even one or two fleas will drive these animals crazy.

Ticks are also a problem in our area. They feed off of the blood of your animals. This is often not enough to make your animals sick. However, many ticks carry terrible diseases such as Lyme Disease, Ehrlichia, and more. Some dogs are allergic to tick bites, which causes a serious problem.

Fortunately for us, we offer a prevention (or preventative choices) for fleas and ticks. These medications need to be given every month for the best results. We also recommend giving them all year round because fleas and ticks can cause problems no matter what time of year it is.
