Olive's baaaack.... and she's here to explain why we think that year-round flea, tick, and heartworm prevention is an important part of your pets care! 🐾
It’s a common misconception that fleas, ticks, and mosquitoes disappear in colder months — but the truth is, they can stay active much longer than most people realize.
🦟 Mosquitoes (which transmit heartworm disease) can become active anytime temperatures are consistently above ~50°F.
🕷️ Ticks can survive and remain active on warmer winter days, often when temps are around 40°F or higher.
🐜 Fleas can thrive outdoors in mild conditions and continue living comfortably indoors year-round in heated homes.
We’re excited to now offer Simparica Trio at our clinic — an all-in-one monthly chewable that helps protect against fleas, ticks, heartworm disease, and intestinal parasites in a single, easy dose. 🫶🏻
Every pet is different, and prevention isn’t one-size-fits-all. Our doctors would be happy to talk with you about whether Simparica Trio is the right fit for your pet’s lifestyle and risk factors.
