As the summer moves on and the weather begins to moderate, flea infestations will become more widespread. Next, ticks will jump on the bandwagon as we get further in to the fall. Now is the time to keep everything under control. If you have become a bit lackadaisical as we all tend to do in the summer, it’s time to get serious. We have are beginning to see many more patients with flea infestations in the last two weeks than previously. If you need advice as far as the best way to control the problem in your household, feel free to call the Brockton Animal Hospital. As the saying goes:
“An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure”. or “Preventing a problem is always easier than curing one”.
