Battling Pests

Flea and tick products come in a variety of forms, including pills and chews to sprays and food toppers to collars and shampoos. With so many different applications to choose from, it’s up to consumers to decide which one is best for their pet. Pet retailers can play a vital role in helping to educate their customers about not only the importance of flea and tick prevention, but also the options that are available to them. Products that are powerful on pests but gentle on the dog or cat will provide relief without causing undue harm to the pets that we serve.
