Pesky Critters

As colder days approach, everyone finds themselves huddling inside the warm house, including unwanted pests. Fleas are a big problem during the fall and winter seasons. They find comfort on pets and inside houses in carpets and couches. Keep your pets on flea and tick preventatives such as- Nexgard, Bravecto and Frontline.

Sidewalk Salt

When sidewalks get icy and salt gets put down it could be harmful to pet paws. Be cautious about what type of sidewalk salt you are using. There are pet safe products that don't irritate their paws.
