🕷️ Protect Your Pet from Summer Pests 🦟
Ticks, fleas, and mosquitoes are all active during the warmer months here in Southern Maine, and they can pose risks to both pets and people.
A few simple habits can help keep your pets protected:
✔️ Use veterinarian-recommended flea, tick, and heartworm prevention
✔️ Check pets after walks, hikes, and outdoor adventures
✔️ Pay close attention to common hiding spots like the ears, collar area, paws, and between the toes
✔️ Avoid tall grass and brush whenever possible
✔️ Keep your yard maintained by trimming grass and reducing leaf litter
✔️ Watch for changes in appetite, energy level, mobility, or behavior and contact your veterinarian if you have concerns
Remember, tick checks are important, but they shouldn't replace preventative medications recommended by your veterinarian.
Stay safe and enjoy the outdoors with your furry family members! 🐾
