🐾 Flea and Tick Season: Pet Health Tips from Paws and Claws Depot Fontana

As the weather warms up in Southern California, flea and tick season kicks into high gear—posing serious health risks to your pets. At Paws and Claws Depot in Fontana, we’re here to help you protect your furry friends with the best flea and tick prevention strategies available.

🌿 Why Flea and Tick Prevention Matters

Fleas and ticks aren’t just annoying—they can transmit serious diseases like:

• Lyme disease
• Tapeworms
• Anemia
• Skin infections and allergic reactions

These pests thrive in warm, humid environments, making spring and summer prime time for infestations in Fontana and the surrounding Inland Empire.

🐶 Who’s at Risk?

All pets are at risk—even indoor animals! Dogs, cats, and even small animals like rabbits, chinchillas, and guinea pigs can become infested with fleas or ticks. You can even bring them indoors from your shoes and clothes, other pets outside, or outdoor playtime.

🔍 Top Signs Your Pet May Have Fleas or Ticks

Be on the lookout for:

• Excessive scratching or licking
• Red, irritated skin
• Hair loss
• Small black specks (flea dirt)
• Visible ticks (especially around ears, neck, or between toes)

🛡️ How to Protect Your Pets

At Paws and Claws Depot, we carry vet-recommended flea and tick treatments, including:

• Topical treatments (Frontline, Advantage II, Advantix, Tropiclean)
• Oral medications (Capstar)
• Flea collars
• Natural flea sprays and shampoos

Don’t forget to treat your home and yard too—fleas can live in carpets, furniture, and outdoor soil for months.
