Warm weather brings sunshine and smiles — but also the inevitable buzzing, biting, and scratching of flea and tick season. Protecting your pets (and your home) means staying proactive.
Start with prevention. Consistent flea and tick treatments are essential, whether you have an indoor cat, an outdoor dog, or even small pets that occasionally play outside. Parasites travel fast and multiply faster.
Regular grooming helps you spot early signs — tiny black flecks or irritated skin. Vacuum often, wash bedding, and keep your yard trimmed to reduce hiding spots.
For farm animals, keep coops and stalls dry and clean; pests thrive in damp bedding. Natural sprays and essential oil repellents can help, but always use products safe for the species you’re treating.
At The Hungry Puppy, we stock trusted parasite preventives and sprays for dogs, cats, small pets, and livestock — plus advice from our team to help you choose what works best for your setup.
With a little consistency and care, you can keep summer all about playtime, not scratching time.
