Did you know Maine C***s are one of the largest domestic cat breeds, with some reaching over 20 pounds and 3 feet long?
But don’t let their size fool you—they’re gentle giants with sweet, playful personalities!

Here are a few fun facts about these fluffy felines:

✔️ Their thick, water-resistant fur helps them stay cozy in cold weather

✔️ They love to chirp and trill instead of meowing

✔️ Often called the “dogs of the cat world” because of their friendly, affectionate nature

✔️ Unlike most cats,
Maine C***s often enjoy playing in the water.

Ticks may be tiny, but they can cause big problems for your pet! These pesky parasites can carry Lyme disease, Ehrlichia, and other serious illnesses, making prevention essential for your pet’s health.

Why tick prevention matters:
✔️ Prevents disease transmission – Ticks can spread harmful infections within hours.
✔️ Keeps your pet comfortable – No one wants itchy, irritated skin!
✔️ Protects your family – Some tick-borne diseases can affect humans, too.
✔️ Works best when used consistently – Year-round prevention is key, even in cooler months!

💡 Tip: Check your pet for ticks after walks, especially around the ears, belly, and paws!

Ask us about the best preventative options to keep your furry friend tick-free!
