Fleas and ticks are a common problem with pets. Although it may seem that such small bugs can't really pose a big problem, both fleas and ticks can pose serious health risks if allowed to exist on your pet unchecked. Regular treatments are important to prevent infestation, and to keep your pet, and the rest of your family, healthy and comfortable.
