Beef Chews to Kill Fleas and Ticks

by

At Day and Evening Pet Hospital, we have a great alternative to the usual topical treatments you see out there. And the dogs LOVE them!

It’s called NexGard® and it kills fleas and ticks.  It kills fleas before they even have a chance to lay eggs.  It will also prevent flea infestations.

Fleas and ticks can be found anywhere.  It’s important that you give your dog protection from them.

Some common places where fleas can be found are:

  • carpets
  • around shrubbery
  • decks
  • fence lines
  • wooden floors

Ticks can be commonly seen around:

  • trails
  • wooded areas
  • tall grass
  • leaf litter

Fleas and ticks can lead to costly health issues if your dog is left unprotected.  Dogs can get flea allergies, tapeworms, lyme disease and other diseases.  Not to mention the amount of discomfort they give.

So, NexGard® is a great option if you need it.  Dogs love the soft, beef-flavored chew.  Also, with this option you don’t have to worry about it washing off.  It lasts an entire month and it’s very easy to give.  You can give it to dogs weighing as little as 4 pounds and to dogs weighing over 120 pounds.  All dogs are to be at least 8 weeks old before administering this form of protection.

Come see us and help your dog with this “treat” to kill those ticks and fleas!

Love,

Kill Fleas & Ticks (Beef Chewable!)

by

Does your dog ever play outside or lay around the deck?  Does your home have carpet and/or wooden floors?  These are all place where fleas may live.  If your dog is outdoors quite a bit, fleas can also be found around fence lines.  Fleas can also jump off other wildlife and onto your pet.  Some areas where ticks can be found are on trails, wooded areas and in tall grass.

These are very common areas for most pets.  Having your pet on a preventative is very safe and wise to do because both fleas and ticks can lead to your pet having future health issues.

NexGard™ is for dogs only.  We like it because it kills fleas and ticks fast.  It can kill fleas before the adult fleas are able to lay eggs.  It also kills ticks (deer ticks, lone star ticks and American dog ticks).  It’s a monthly chewable that tastes like beef!

NexGard™ is used to kill fleas and ticks on your dog.  The adult fleas which you see on your dog are roughly only 5% of the flea infestation in your environment.  To prevent an infestation all together, you should give NexGard™ to your dog monthly.  You should also get any other pets in your house, such as cats, on a flea and tick control product (because remember, this one is for dogs only.)

Fleas can give any dog discomfort, flea allergies, tapeworms and other diseases.  Ticks can be responsible for giving Lyme Disease and other diseases.  Call us today to see if NexGard™ is right for your pet.
