It's that time of year. We had our first dog with fleas this morning. Several other clinics in the area are seeing dogs with ticks. As bad as the winter was, many of us probably have slacked off on our flea and tick prevention. To prevent infestations, start flea and tick prevention now. As a trained professional, I decided to test the theory that having indoor only cats and no other pets in the house meant my cats would not get fleas. WRONG! I can now definitely confirm that theory as totally false and save the rest of you (and your pets) from testing that theory for yourselves. My cats, Boris and Melvin, have served as the poster children for why all pets need to be treated with prevention. It took several months of treating my boys and the house to get rid of the fleas. Don't let this happen to you - it was not pleasant for my boys or me.
