Flea and Tick Prevention: Factors to Consider When Choosing a Product │ Dr. Nancy Reese #98
I think we can all agree that fleas and ticks are a problem. Especially considering the risk factors of the types of diseases that ticks can carry, as well as the risks of anemia associated with an infestation of fleas. This week we featured one of our returning guests and expert veterinarians, Dr. Nancy Reese. In addition to being a practicing DVM, Dr. Nancy also earned a master’s degree in Preventative Veterinary Medicine, and a PhD in Epidemiology.
In this episode, Dr. Nancy addresses this common concern for pet parents by covering some of the following topics: alternative ideas to controlling fleas and ticks when your dog goes outside, why environmental conditions matter when choosing the best flea & tick protocols, how to avoid over exposure to parasiticide toxins, as well as shares her expert advice on why it is important to reduce your dog’s risk factors of getting fleas and ticks when they are undergoing chemotherapy treatments.
