Keeping pets happy and healthy is every pet parent's top priority, and protecting them from fleas and ticks plays a big role in their overall wellbeing. As we head into the fall and winter months, what should pet owners be aware of in terms of fleas and ticks? Well, it's a common misconception that flea and tick activity slows down in the cooler months. In reality, these parasites are resilient, able to survive indoors and even withstand 30-degree temperatures. That means the risk of Lyme disease, tapeworms and other flea and tick-borne health concerns persist year-round for both your pet and your family - especially when enjoying fall activities like hiking, checking out the foliage and more. When it comes to protecting against fleas and ticks there are several options out there; however, they all require pet owners to remember to give treatment on a consistent basis and according to a recent global survey commissioned by Merck Animal Health, 46% of dog owners struggle to remember when to give treatment. Moreover, 56% of pet owners find administering flea and tick medication challenging.
