Please be aware when you're searching for your pets medications that cheapest, isn't always best. There have been instances where owner's thought they were getting a good deal, and ended up getting a sick pet. Counterfeit flea and tick medications, while not common, do exist and you need to watch your packaging closely to make sure you are getting the actual product. Shopping locally not only prevents this, as we make sure our flea and tick medications come directly from the manufacturers, but it also supports your local community.

The following article explains the dangers of counterfeit medications.

Make an appointment with our team to review symptoms, determine if your pet has allergies, and develop a treatment plan before allergies become infections. 🐾

🏠🐾 Flea Season Alert! 🐾🏠
Summer is here, and Critter Care has seen an uptick in flea infestations at the clinic this year. Don’t let them take over your home and bother your furry friends. Here are some quick tips to help you and your pets stay flea-free:
1️⃣ Treat Your Pets: Consult your vet for the best flea treatments for your pets. Whether topical, oral, or collars, there are effective options available in clinic or in our online store.
2️⃣ Clean & Treat Your Home: Treating your home with prevention with an insect growth regulator, like Knockout Spray(Critter Care's preferred option), will help prevent outside fleas from becoming inside fleas. Vacuuming carpets and furniture regularly can help catch & hatch any dormant eggs so they too can succumb to your treatment spray. And don’t forget to wash your pet's bedding and places they hang out the most! A little extra effort goes a long way in keeping your space flea-free. 🧹🧼
3️⃣ Flea-Proof Your Yard: Keep your lawn trimmed and consider using pet-safe flea repellents in your yard. Always be sure to check how long your pet should stay off of your grass after treating.
4️⃣ Regular Check-ups: Make it a habit to check your pets for fleas. Early detection is key!
🐶💖 Remember, fleas can happen to ANYONE. They do not care how clean or dirty your home is. The best way to avoid fleas, is to be proactive in treating your home. 🏡 Let’s keep our homes and pets happy and healthy this season!

Here is a great handout found on DVM360 about preventing fleas in your home!
