Fleas and ticks are not only a nuisance for your pet, but they can also be dangerous to their health. Ticks carry several types of diseases such as Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, Ehrlichiosis, and Tularemia, all of which you can contract too.

Frontline is a liquid applied to the back of the neck which kills fleas and ticks within 24 hours and continues killing them for 1 full month. Sentinel is a tablet that is given by mouth every month with a meal. It prevents heartworm disease, the most serious parasite affecting dogs, and stops fleas from reproducing, and also lasts a month.

CAH endorses and sells Frontline Plus for this purpose. It must be applied monthly, continuously year round, as ticks that carry Lyme Disease can be seen even in the winter. All pets should be tested annually. This is to prevent the presence of dangerous parasites within the pet as well as those that can be transmitted to humans from animals. This is especially true for small children & immuno compromised or older adults.
