There is often a misconception that preventative products can be discontinued in the late fall and winter months. On the contrary, it is imperative that proper prevention is administered year round. Our climate plays a large role in the necessity for year round prevention with more a more temperate environment in which insects and parasites flourish. Our rural landscape also plays a part, with a large wildlife reservoir which often serves as an intermediate host for parasites. Additionally, the insects and parasites are opportunistic and appear to be stronger and more prolific with each year. Don't let your pet fall prey to preventable disease!
