May Prevention Checklist

for Tri-Valley Pets

Spring is still holding on in the Tri-Valley, but warmer days and more outdoor time mean increased exposure to fleas, ticks, and mosquitoes. Now is the ideal time to refresh your pet’s prevention plan before peak parasite season arrives!

This month, we recommend:

🩺 Heartworm and Tick-Borne Disease Testing:

If your pet hasn’t been recently tested, a quick blood draw helps ensure they’re protected as parasite activity continues to rise this season.

🐾 Consistent Flea, Tick & Mosquito Prevention:

Even with cooler mornings still around, parasites are active in grassy and wooded areas throughout the Tri-Valley. Staying consistent now helps prevent issues before peak season arrives.

🛡️ Year-Round Protection Options:

Ask us about long-lasting prevention options for dogs, including Bravecto Quantum—a single injection that provides extended flea and tick protection for simplified year-round coverage.

🌿 Outdoor Season Awareness:

As pets spend more time outside, continue checking paws, ears, and coats after walks and hikes—especially along trails and open spaces.
