Flea & Tick Prevention and Information

We highly recommend yearly preventions. 

A flea's life cycle can be broken down into four parts: egg, larva, pupa, and adult. The adult lays eggs on a host, which then roll off into the environment. When these eggs hatch into larvae, the larvae hunker down in the environment, feed, and go through several molts until they spin a cocoon and become pupae.

We highly recommend prevention be given all year round. Especially in East Tennessee where it doesn't always get cold enough or stay cold long enough to kill them off.  

​HeartWorm Prevention Information

  Heartworm disease is a serious and potentially fatal disease in pets in the United States and many other parts of the world. It is caused by foot-long worms (heartworm) that live in the heart, lungs and associated blood vessels of affected pets, causing severe lung disease, heart failure and damage to other organs in the body.
