Whether it’s cool, cold, warm, or hot your dog needs to have flea and tick prevention medication on. For instance, during the cooler or colder winter months (depending on where you live), the annoying fleas and ticks of the spring and summer appear to die off or at least take a break for a while. Your vet can tell you real quick that the winter months are no time to take a break from flea and tick prevention programs. It’s true that the fleas and ticks do take a break for the season, but they’re not completely gone. They’re just dormant for a few months until the snow melts or the weather warms up. Areas that do not receive colder weather in the winter months may not even see a lessening of flea and tick outbreaks. No matter the time of year, it’s a good rule of thumb to always keep your dog current on his flea and tick prevention program. Learn more from your animal hospital Ellicott City, MD.
