Those pesky mosquitos pet owners beware
We all know how itchy we get with a Mosquito bite, but what about our pets? As the temperatures get hotter every pet owner needs to prepare for Mosquito season, don't forget Heartworm disease and fleas are a great risk to pets.
Heartworm is dangerous to dogs, however there is treatment. Cats on the other hand/paw there is no approved treatment for feline heartworm disease. Either way to avoid costly pet medical bills for your pet use year round treatments that are prescribed from your veterinarian. Your doctor most likely will give you daily or monthly tablets or a topical, which are effective and easy to use.
Recently the EPA is considering further restrictions on Flea/Tick pet products due to the evaluation of whether the use of spot-on pesticides for Flea and tick control are necessary. More than 44,000 potential incidents were reported to the EPA in 2008. The Federal laws require reports of adverse reactions of a product even if it was misused or misapplied.
It is best to communicate with your pet’s veterinarian regarding any medical questions or concerns:
Purchase medicine through a licensed veterinary
Always read the instructions
Call your pet’s veterinary if there are any side affects.
