We can’t say it enough… BUT WHY??? 🤔 #facts
1. We are seeing more and more cases of heartworm disease each year. This year we have seen around 10! (This INCLUDES cats) 😱
2. We see cases of tick disease (Lyme disease and Anaplasmosis) MULTIPLE times per WEEK. 😧
3. Fleas, ticks, and mosquitoes are still out in the fall and winter months. It only takes 1 day above freezing for these parasites to come out and be active! 🦟
4. Prevention is a MUCH better option than treatment. All the diseases these parasites cause can be painful, costly, AND life-threatening. 😣
Keep your furry family member protected! 🐶💙🐱
