Fleas, Ticks, and Heartworms

So it's been a while since my last post, so I'm combining to very health subjects that any pet owner should be aware of- fleas/ticks and heartworms.

You should make sure that you apply a flea and tick preventative for your dog in order to prevetn your dog from being infested from fleas, and you shold provide your dog with monthly heartworm prevention. Below you will find the links for more information about comparing the different flea and tick preventions and information about heartworm disease (symptoms, treatment, and prevention).
