**FACT:** Fleas and ticks can hitch a ride indoors on people, other pets, or even through open doors and windows.
π« **MYTH #2: Fleas are only a problem in the summer.**
β
**FACT:** Fleas can survive year-round, especially in warm homes and mild climates. Prevention should be a 12-month commitment.
π« **MYTH #3: I would know if my pet had fleas or ticks.**
β
**FACT:** Many pets show few or no signs until an infestation becomes significant. Regular checks and preventive care are essential.
π« **MYTH #4: Natural remedies work just as well as veterinary-approved preventives.**
β
**FACT:** Many natural products have not been proven effective and may not provide adequate protection. Ask your veterinarian about safe, reliable options.
