Throughout the year, itâs important to keep up your fight against fleas and ticks. Fleas and ticks can both survive winter temperatures, especially if they are already inside where itâs warm. As spring arrives, youâll be spending more time outside with your pet, increasing his exposure to these pests. Vacuum your house often to reduce the risk of fleas, paying special attention to areas where your pet spends much of his time. Mow your lawn and prune back shrubs and trees to limit the potential hiding spots for ticks. Talk to your veterinarian in San Jose about putting your pet on a year-round preventative medication, as fleas and ticks can be health hazards as well as general nuisances.
