When the weather starts to warm, it means all those creepy crawlies are waking up. That means fleas and ticks. When should you start treating your dog for fleas and ticks in the spring?

If you really want to provide your pet with the best protection, you should stay up-to-date on administering his medication all year round. Just because it’s cold doesn’t mean all the fleas die off! You could take your dog outside in the dead of winter and end up bringing fleas into your home.

However, if you haven’t been medicating your dog like you should, make sure you give him his medicine as soon as the weather warms above freezing. Then, continue to administer his medication throughout the year.

Choosing the right medicine counts too! For help finding the right meds, schedule an appointment with your veterinarian Greenwood, IN.Learn more here.
