🍂🐾 Cooler Weather Doesn’t Mean Parasite Season Is Over! 🐾🍂
As temperatures drop, it’s easy to think fleas, ticks, and mosquitoes disappear for the season. But here in our area, it rarely gets cold enough for long enough to eliminate these pesky parasites! 🥶
🏡 And guess what? They may just find their way indoors! Fleas can thrive inside warm homes, ticks can remain active during milder weather, and mosquitoes can sometimes find their way inside, too. That means even indoor pets are still at risk!
❤️ Year-round parasite prevention is important! Keeping your pet on their recommended preventative helps protect them against:
🐜 Fleas & Ticks — These pesky pests can cause irritation and transmit diseases.
🦟 Heartworms — Spread by mosquitoes, heartworms can cause serious damage to your pet’s heart, lungs, and blood vessels. Even indoor pets can be exposed!
🐶🐱 At Claus Paws Animal Hospital, we want to help keep your furry family members protected in every season. Don’t let cooler temperatures fool you — prevention matters all year long!
