Fleas and ticks can cause, at the very least, discomfort, and at the most, life-threatening illness. Family Pet Center, Cincinnati’s go-to place for the best pet supplies and services, wants you to know how to prevent these pests from taking up residence on your four-legged family members.

Here’s three ways you can prevent parasites from causing your pet a lot of pain:

Control your yard: Fleas and ticks love to hide in tall grass, and chances are your pet loves to wander in it. If your yard hasn’t seen a lawnmower in longer than you’d like to admit, now might be the time to cut your grass. You may be able to save your pet from some unnecessary suffering just by taming the landscape.

Get your pet groomed: Even if you don’t suspect a problem, you dog groomer will be able to spot parasites that have decided to take a ride on your pup. The groomers at Family Pet Center have a combined 30 years of experience in helping your pooch to look and feel his best and will point you in the right direction to eliminate any insects.

Find the right treatment: From collars to powders, there are several ways to rid your pet of parasites. Family Pet Center offers only the best and most effective products, including Frontline Plus.
