Many of our Folly Road Animal Hospital clients have already noticed the warm weather has brought with it fleas!Stay ahead of the problem and buy your flea, tick, and heartworm prevention now!
Heartworm prevention is especially important here in the Lowcountry. Heartworm disease is transmitted through mosquitoes, of which we have many! Often we see mosquitoes year-round, so always remember to protect your dog or cat with one of our recommended heartworm preventatives.
Advantage Multi®
Advantage Multi® is a topical product (an oil that is applied monthly directly on the skin between the shoulder blades) that protects both dogs and cats from fleas, heartworms, and other intestinal parasites. Right now when you buy 6 doses of Advantage Multi® you receive a $25 mail-in rebate! The rebate is $60 when you buy a years worth!
Trifexis®
Trifexis® is an oral pill given monthly to protect dogs from fleas, heartworms, and other intestinal parasites. Right now when you buy 6 doses of Trifexis® you receive a $10 mail-in rebate. When you buy a years worth, receive a $25 rebate!
While ticks are not usually a huge problem in our warm climate, it is never a bad idea to add tick protection for your dog or cat, as ticks can spread diseases such as Lyme and Ehrlichia. Consider an oral product for dogs like Nexgard® or Bravecto®, or a Seresto® collar (which lasts 8 months and works for cats, too!) All of these products treat and prevent fleas as well.
Even if you never see fleas on your pet, remember that mosquitoes can get inside your house. Always use heartworm prevention for your dog or cat: Heartgard® and Tri-Heart Plus® prevent heartworms and intestinal parasites.
We want to make sure you get the best flea, tick, and heartworm prevention at a great price! Don’t hesitate to contact our front desk with any questions.
P.S. Remember we are having a Proheart 6® Clinic this Saturday March 24th from 9am-1pm! We still have some appointments available so give our front desk a shout to inquire.
