Keep Your Pets, Get Rid of the Pests
Flea and tick control has evolved over the years. Back in the day, collars designed to repel these pests were one’s best bet to keep a dog or cat unaffected. Now, when you shop your neighborhood Care-A-Lot Pet Supply or browse our online catalog, you’ll find a multitude of options. All are effective, but some may work better than others for your particular pet.
How do you know which type of flea control is best for your home? Your veterinarian may recommend a treatment based on your pet’s needs, and our helpful customer service representatives can also provide information. When considering methods for tick and flea control, it’s important to know how all the products work.
Kill or Repel?
Not all flea products are created equally. Some are designed to kill fleas and/or ticks, while some repel the pests. Others do both. Some treatments will even kill or repel other problem bugs like mosquitos.
Looking for something that works for outdoor dogs? Skout’s Honor Flea and Tick Shampoo kills fleas and ticks and repels mosquitos. Supplement your home’s protection with Skout’s Honor Yard Spray and Skout’s Honor Home Spray, both of which also kill flea and tick eggs and larvae.
Before They Hatch
While a collar, topical treatment or oral supplement works to rid your pet of adult fleas and ticks, it may not necessarily take care of any eggs or larvae. It’s important when protecting your dog to cat to make sure no hatchlings are overlooked.
Seresto collars are designed to kill and repel fleas and ticks, and also kill the larvae. Care-A-Lot Pet Supply offers Seresto collars for small dogs, large dogs, and cats and kittens.
Safe To Use
If your dog or cat is expecting a litter, or suffers specific health problems, take caution before using a specific treatment. Not all flea remedies are safe to use on pregnant pets. Consult with your veterinarian about safe treatments if your pet has special needs.
Advantix II for Dogs treatment has been rated safe for pregnant and nursing dogs to use. If you prefer organic products, Diatomaceous Earth shampoo bar for dogs is antimicrobial and calming. Diatomaceous Earth Food Grade is also available, and may be used in feed and around the house and yard.
