PET OWNERS

Spring time brings the influx of fleas in our homes and gardens. Eggs that may have been dormant over the winter months start to hatch and fleas multiply. Make sure you have all the furry members of your family covered for fleas with a trustworthy, easy to apply product like Frontline Plus or Revolution. For those animals who applying a topical preparation is difficult there is new NextGuard a flavoured chewable tablet that offers excellent flea control.

Spring is time when cats start fighting and hormones are flying- make sure your pet is neutered so you don't end up with unwanted kittens or disease such as FIV, transferred in cat fights. If your cat does end up in a cat flight- make sure you get them into your closest VetEnt clinic quickly to save the bite becoming an abscess.
