Should I keep my dog/cat on flea/tick preventative year round?
In Oklahoma/Texas and a few of the surrounding states, I recommend that you should keep them on a preventative year round. We just do not get cold enough winters to kill fleas/ticks. Remember, fleas can live inside your house! So, you could have fleas year round. We want to “prevent” ever seeing any fleas/ticks! If you don’t see any on your pet it means that the product is working.
When is it safe to let my puppy go outside and play?
Puppies need to get all of their vaccines, which start between 6-8 weeks of age and include boosters every three weeks until 16 weeks of age. I recommend that you wait until the puppy is 18 weeks of age before allowing it to go outside and play with other dogs.
