Preventing fleas and tick bites on your dog is a much healthier solution than trying to treat your dog or puppy after they have been infested. Prevention of fleas and ticks can help keep your puppy from getting tapeworms or having bites that can cause severe itching and flea allergy dermatitis. You can also help prevent diseases that fleas and ticks carry such as Lyme Disease, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever and Tick Paralysis. You can keep fleas from infesting not only your puppy, but your home by using a flea prevention medicine. If you live in an area with year-long flea issues, use flea preventative medication monthly. This can include homes in the South, homes in the North with barns or garages where fleas survive the cold, and homes with pets that have serious flea-allergy problems.

Controlling fleas and ticks is much more difficult once they are a problem. Talk to your vet today to prevent your puppy from scratching miserably during the upcoming sumer months!
