Fleas & Ticks

The flea is a hardy insect with a life span of 6 to 12 months. During that time, a pair of fleas could produce millions of offspring.

Ticks are not insects like fleas, but arachnids like mites, spiders, and scorpions. The United States has about 200 tick species. Habitats include woods, beach grass, lawns, forests, and even urban areas. Ticks may carry various infectious organisms that can transmit diseases to cats and dogs.

Prevention is the Key!
