Itchy just thinking about fleas & ticks?

Summer is peak flea and tick season, here in Montana ticks can be out in anything over 40 degrees.

Nothing is worse than finding out your furry family member(s) has contracted one of these pests, and it can happen to indoor pets, too!

Why Prevention?

Prevent Illness

Fleas cause uncomfortable itching/scratching, skin irritations, and hair loss. They also cause tapeworm infestations, anemia, and Bartonella.
Ticks cause a multitude of tick-borne illnesses like Lyme Disease, Anaplasmosis, and Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, just to name a few.
Fleas and ticks can also cause illnesses in humans.
Prevent Infestation

Did you know that you can bring fleas and ticks into the home on your clothing or in your handbag or duffle bag?
A flea infestation can happen very quickly! Within 24 hours of just one blood meal, a flea can lay 40-50 eggs on your pet. That means that within a few days, you can have a full-blown infestation in your home!
Fleas and ticks usually aren’t easy to get rid of, but there are great products to prevent these infestations on your pets and to your family!
Prevention methods include topical liquids, oral tablets, and collars. It’s important to have us walk you through your options when it comes to prevention. We recommend Credelio or Credelio Quattro a once a month chewable tablet. For pets that suffer from seizures we recommend a Seresto collar.

More Flea and Tick Prevention Tips
Check your pet daily for ticks. If you find one, remove it immediately, being careful not to leave the head of a tick embedded in your pets skin. If your unsure please call us.
When taking steps to protect your furry family member, it’s important that you’re using flea and tick medications safely.
Many flea and tick medications are designed with specific species, ages, and sizes in mind. Please read all labels completely, or better yet, let us guide you on the best products to avoid serious injury to your pet.
If you use a professional exterminator always let them know that pets live in the home so they only use pet-safe products.
Beware of flea or tick “hacks” you find on the internet. Consult our team before trying anything new. There are many fake tips on the internet that could actually harm your pet.

Avoiding the contraction and spread of these pests will keep your furry family member(s) healthier and happier!

Feel free to call us at 406-656-5622 for more information or to get a refill of your pet's current prevention.

August 15th is Check the Chip Day!

ARE YOUR PETS MICROCHIPPED?

What is a microchip and what are the benefits of microchipping?

What Is a Microchip?
A microchip is a radio-frequency identification transponder that carries a unique identification number, and is roughly the size of a grain of rice. When the microchip is scanned by a vet or shelter, it transmits the ID number. There’s no battery, no power required, and no moving parts. The microchip is injected under the loose skin between your dog’s shoulder blades and can be done in your vet’s office. It’s no more invasive than a vaccination.

Benefits of microchipping animals
Permanent identification of animals can be a challenge. Identification tags are an important and effective means of identification, but only if they are in place on an animal when it becomes lost. For animals that don’t wear collars or easily escape their collars, microchips may be especially valuable. Microchips provide a reliable, and often less painful, method of permanent, unalterable animal identification.

The AVMA endorses the implantation of electronic identification in companion animals, but microchips aren’t a substitute for proper external identification of animals. Microchipped pets should also wear collars with proper identification. License tags, rabies tags and personal visual identification are all components of a comprehensive pet identification program.

Make sure your pet is registered.
If you have a pet who is already microchipped, take this opportunity to review and confirm the manufacturer's database to be sure you and your pet's information is up-to-date.

Updating your pet’s microchip registration is as easy as 1,2,3!
To update your pet’s registration, you’ll need your pet’s microchip number.
If you haven’t already created an account with the manufacturer, you’ll need to do that as well so you can access the registration in the future to update the information.
Make sure that all of the information, particularly your phone number(s) and address, are correct.

If your pet isn't already microchipped, please take this opportunity to set up an appointment to microchip your pet. Call us at 406-656-5622
