Summer’s Pesky Pests

     Summer time is upon us and as everyone knows fleas are rampant during the hot California summer season.  At Alicia Pacific Veterinary Center we know that every resident of Laguna Niguel battles this problem every year, and we are here to help.  We have the most progressive methods of treating and preventing fleas in your pets, and we can also educate you and your family on how to best prevent a flea infestation in the future.

      At Alicia Pacific Veterinary Center we offer two types of flea control, topical and oral.  This means you can either apply a liquid to your pets back or you can give a tablet by mouth to help prevent fleas, the choice is yours.  Each product is only applied or given to your pet once a month, and they are easy to administer in either form you choose.

    The cost of our flea preventatives is no more than $15/month which is less than most people spend at Starbucks and they keep your pets and your home free of fleas and other annoying parasites such as ticks, intestinal worms, and heartworms.  These products are prescription and do require an exam before their purchase, but if used year round, or once a month for 12 months, they are proven to prevent parasites in your home and on your pets.
