 FLEA FACTS:

• Fleas have 4 stages in their life cycle: egg, larva, pupa and adult
• the pupa stage can remain dormant for several months until the conditions are right for the adult flea to emerge
• adult fleas survive on a host for up to 140 days
• Several thousands of eggs are laid by female fleas and dropped wherever your pet goes
• Flea infestation can disrupt the general well-being of cats and dogs, cause itching, redness, hair loss, and in certain cases severe skin infections
• flea prevention is the best solution. We can help you choose the best product for your pets and your lifestyle

 TICK FACTS:

• Ticks are small insect-like parasites that feed on the blood of animals, including humans
• in Ontario there is one type of tick known to transmit Lyme disease; the blacklegged tick (sometimes called the deer tick)
• before feeding, they are about 3–5 mm in length - full of blood, adult female ticks can be as large as a grape
• check for ticks after being in tick-infested areas (fields and woods)
• prompt removal of attached ticks  can reduce the risk of infection

The 4DX Test we are currently using for heartworm testing also screens for Lyme disease and two other diseases transmitted by ticks!
