Flea and Tick Protection Crucial Year-Round, Says Merck Animal Health

Flea and tick protection is crucial for pets year-round, not just during warmer months. According to Merck Animal Health, pet owners should be aware of the risks and take preventative measures.

In an interview with PA Live!, Merck emphasized the importance of protecting pets from fleas and ticks, which can transmit diseases such as Lyme disease and flea allergy dermatitis.

Merck recommends using a combination of topical treatments and oral medications to prevent infestations. The company also advises pet owners to regularly inspect their pets for signs of fleas and ticks and to seek veterinary care if they suspect an infestation.
