YouTube Description

In our Pet of the Week video this week, Dr. Kasey Sweeney provides a tip about the importance of flea and tick medication.
After an unusually warm winter, Sweeney says fleas and ticks aren't dying off like they usually are. That means there will be an uptick in cats and dogs this summer.
Even if your pets are indoor animals, Sweeney still recommends year-round flea medication.
"We go in and out of our house. Things can move," says Sweeney. "You can buy a flea or preventative treatment over the counter at any grocery store or pet store."
