Why Flea & Tick Prevention Matters

Fleas and ticks are common parasites that can affect dogs throughout the year, particularly in warmer climates and outdoor environments.

Flea and tick prevention may help:

• Protect against flea infestations
• Support tick prevention and control
• Reduce skin irritation and discomfort
• Support healthier skin and coat condition
• Provide ongoing external parasite protection

Dogs that spend time outdoors, socialise frequently or live in tick-prone areas may benefit from consistent year-round protection.
