Fleas and ticks are a constant threat to our pets. Ticks can also be a serious health hazard due to tick-borne diseases such as Lyme disease. Fleas can cause significant skin problems for both dogs and cats, as well as internal problems such as tapeworms. These parasites can make humans uncomfortable and can prove very difficult to eradicate once they have invaded our homes. For these reasons, we advise use of certain medications year-round.

You may sign up for monthly email updates on parasite prevalence rates at Pets & Parasites and for alerts when there are disease outbreaks in our area at Pet Disease Alerts. 

We offer several flea and tick control products which research and experience have proven to be the most effective, safest products available. Circle Veterinary Clinic provides only tested and approved topical and oral products, with a range of prices to fit most budgets. We carry popular oral chews for dogs: Nexgard, which is dosed monthly, and Bravecto, dosed every three months. These products often have generous manufacturer rebates when purchased at our clinic in multiple doses. Also available are topical applications Provecta and Vectra 3D for dogs and Bravecto Plus and Advantage Multi for cats. Through our online pharmacy, you can elect to have flea and tick control delivered to your home if you prefer. Please contact us if you have any questions about how to control these parasites with the products we have available.
