Low Risk

Typically, there is a low risk of flea and tick activity in your area during this season. However, if temperatures become unusually warm (above 50 degrees), then it’s a good idea to check in with your veterinarian about whether a flea and tick preventative is needed for your pet.

Medium Risk

There is a medium risk of flea and tick activity in your area. This is a good time to speak to your veterinarian about starting your dog or cat on a flea and tick preventative, who can recommend the right products for your pet.

High Risk

There is a high risk of flea and tick activity in your area. Keep your pet protected with regular flea and tick preventatives. Your veterinarian can recommend the best products for your pet, as well as the amount and frequency of flea and tick treatments.
