Flea Facts
Report
Fleas have the same life cycle as butterflies, if we understand that we can help keep our pets flea free as much as possible.
Flea eggs are found wherever animals with adult fleas go.
Eggs can be sterilized with certain products that are called insect growth regulators and these are found in area treatment sprays as well as some spot-on products that are applied to the skin of cats and dogs.
Eggs develop into larvae (like the catepiller stage of the butterfly) and can move a small amount of distance, eating debris and interesting things like tapeworm eggs.

Products
Report
We dispense Sentinel heartworm prevention medication to our dog patients to prevent heartworms (which are transmitted by mosquito bites to dogs) and to aid in reducing flea infestations because Sentinel contains luefeneron which interferes with flea egg and larval development.
Dogs should be tested before starting this medication if they have not been on a heartworm preventative previously.
We carry Hills Prescription Diet foods which come in various formulations to aid in disease treatment and prevention.
