Luckily, the animal lovers at Mililani Town Center Pet Clinic have some great ways to help your dog or cat stay active and remain flea free through every season!

Follow these 3 steps and you’ll be doing your best to make sure your pets don’t suffer from an unnecessary case of fleas:

• Step 1: Make an appointment at a veterinary clinic. The compassionate veterinarians at Mililani Town Center Pet Clinic have been treating animals for nearly 30 years. They love animals and they’re fully qualified to help make sure you choose a flea prevention plan that works well for you and your companion animal.
• Step 2: Put your veterinarian’s plan into action. Animals of different breeds and sizes require different methods of flea prevention. Some dogs and cats may require a regular monthly treatment while others may only need the occasional spray or shampoo, but no matter what it’s important to have a quality vet who you trust.
• Step 3: Practice consistent grooming and pet care. According to the dedicated professionals at Mililani Town Center Pet Clinic, regular grooming and pet care cleaning is an essential part of flea and tick maintenance. Combing and brushing your pet gives you the opportunity to delicately check them for fleas and abrasions, and regularly washing their bedding and toys ensures creepy crawlers aren’t hiding anywhere in your home.
