Flea Prevention and Control

Fleas can cause problems for pets ranging from minor to life-threatening. Not only can these parasites cause severe itching, irritation, and allergies, but they can also transmit tapeworms and diseases. Fleas can infest dogs, cats, ferrets, mice, and rats. And fleas don’t just stay on pets; they can bite people, too. For more information, contact us or see the flea article in the Pet Health Library on our site.

You don’t want these blood-sucking parasites on your pet or in your home. We can help keep them away or help you get rid of them if they’ve already found their way inside. Call us to find out how to eliminate and control fleas or to start your pet on a preventive today. Additionally, we advise against using flea preventatives found in retail stores. At best they will not work as effectively as ones found in a Veterinary clinic; however they can also cause health issues for your pet. We highly recommend buying reliable flea prevention from a Veterinary clinic. 

We also carry flea bombs and area sprays to help with flea infestations inside your home.
