When you commit to care for a pet, you know that you are responsible for whatever comes along with taking care of your new family member. Most people, though, didn’t want to care for any unwelcome hitchhikers that might decide to make their home on that pet. Flea and tick prevention is an important part of care for Alpena pets, and knowing how to keep ticks out of your home is essential for harmony in the household!

The approach to a pet’s overall health and wellness hinges on preventing a variety of illnesses. Without prevention, pets may be vulnerable to easily avoidable parasites, contagious diseases, unwanted litters, and even permanent loss or separation.
