Flea & Tick Prevention for Dogs & Cats in San Jose
Your dog's scratching like crazy. You found a tick on your cat's neck. Or maybe you just saw a flea jump across your carpet and now you're feeling itchy yourself.
Fleas and ticks are more than annoying - they spread disease, cause allergic reactions, and can infest your whole house if you don't act fast. The good news? Prevention is way easier than dealing with an infestation.
Year-Round Flea Prevention for Dogs & Cats
Fleas are tiny but destructive. One female lays up to 50 eggs a day.
- Infestations: A few fleas become thousands in weeks.
- Prevention: Kills fleas before they lay eggs, stopping the cycle.
- Year-Round: Our mild San Jose winters don't kill fleas.
Tick Prevention
Ticks latch on and spread serious diseases like Lyme and Ehrlichiosis.
- Sneaky Hiders: They wait in grass and bushes (even in backyards).
- Fast Action: Prevention kills ticks quickly before they transmit disease.
- Broad Protection: Cover against Brown Dog, Black-legged, and American Dog ticks.
Prevention Options
Oral Chews
Tasty monthly treats like Simparica Trio. Great for dogs who love snacks.
Topicals
Drops applied between shoulders. Good for pets who won't take pills.
Collars
Long-lasting protection (up to 8 months) for forgetful owners.
We'll help you pick the right one based on your pet's lifestyle and health.
Fighting an Infestation?
- Treat Everyone: Every pet in the house needs medication, not just the itchy one.
- Vacuum Daily: Sucks up eggs and larvae. Empty the bag outside immediately!
- Wash Bedding: Hot water kills fleas hiding in fabrics.
- Yard Work: Keep grass short. Remove leaf litter where ticks hide.
- Patience: It can take months to fully clear an infestation from a home.
