I’ve never seen a flea or tick on my pet. Why should I bother putting my pet on preventives? Isn’t this an extra expense that’s just not worth paying for?

Fleas and ticks are not just minor nuisances; they can transmit serious and sometimes life-threatening diseases, some of which can be passed to people. Even indoor-only pets are at risk because fleas and ticks can hitch a ride inside on your clothing, shoes, or other pets. Ticks are now endemic in the Ottawa area and 1 in 3 Deer Ticks are now carrying the Lyme Disease bacteria. Keeping your pet on a monthly preventive year round is your safest option for protecting your pet—and your family—against these parasites.
