š¾ Flea and Tick Prevention Reminder š¾
As we head into flea and tick season here in Oregon, this is a friendly reminder that ALL DOGS participating in our daycare, boarding, and grooming programs are required to be on an active flea preventative. Dogs are not required to be on a tick prevention but we HIGHLY encourage it!
Accepted forms of prevention include:
⢠Oral flea prevention
⢠Topical flea prevention
⢠Flea collars for grooming dogs only
āØļøFlea collars are not permitted in daycare or boarding for safety reasons.
Fleas and even ticks can be picked up almost anywhere ā including backyards, parks, walks, hiking trails, neighborhoods, apartment complexes, and everyday interactions with other pets. Even indoor pets can still be exposed.
While Bark Avenue maintains strict cleaning and sanitation protocols, requiring flea prevention for all dogs helps us provide the safest, cleanest, and most comfortable environment possible for every pup in our care.
If your dog is not currently on flea prevention, please speak with your veterinarian about the best option for your pup before their next visit.
Thank you for helping us keep Bark Avenue happy, healthy, and flea-free!
