🐾 Fleas or Ticks? Here’s What to Look For 🐾
Fleas and ticks are more than just a nuisance—they can make your pet seriously uncomfortable and even lead to health issues.

✔️ Constant scratching or chewing
✔️ Small dark specks (flea dirt)
✔️ Red or irritated patches of skin
✔️ Lumps or ticks attached to the skin
✔️ Scabs or hair loss in affected areas

Our latest blog explains how to tell if your pet has fleas or ticks, how to check them properly, and what to do next.
