Parasite control has many advantages for your pet's health and well-being.
Parasites can attack your pet’s external body and their internal organs. Even if your pet stays indoors they can still be infected by other animals that visit the home or parasites can enter the home on your clothing and shoes. Some parasites are zoonotic, which means they can be passed on to you. To prevent this from happening, we recommend that pets be enrolled in a parasite control program.

Fleas have a life cycle of up to three months, which means they can affect your pet during winter if left untreated.
