A chilling tale of what happens when protection stops…
As the air turns crisp and the leaves begin to fall, many pet owners make a fatal assumption: “The bugs are gone… we can stop the preventatives.” Don’t believe this tale. When you skip that dose this fall, you’re opening the book to a lot of scary stories.
IT LIVES IN THE CARPET! They thought the house was safe. But beneath the surface, something stirred…
Fleas and ticks don’t vanish with the summer sun. They lurk in warm homes, waiting for a mild day to strike. Once they latch onto your pet, they start to multiply.
- Fleas infest your home, triggering relentless itching, allergic reactions, and even anemia.
- Ticks carry diseases like Lyme, ehrlichiosis, and anaplasmosis…silent killers that creep in undetected.
THE SILENCE OF THE HEARTWORMS. You won’t hear them. You won’t see them. But they’re there.
Mosquitoes carry heartworms, but they don’t carry a calendar. They linger year round in our area, and one bite is all it takes. Heartworm disease is deadly, expensive to treat, and often irreversible. Preventatives work by killing immature heartworms before they grow into something far more sinister. Miss a dose, and the protection vanishes.
THE UNPROTECTED. They stopped “just for a few months.” It was enough.
Skipping preventatives may seem harmless, but it can unravel months of protection. Parasites don’t take seasonal breaks—and neither should you. Year-round prevention is the only way to keep your pet safe from the horrors that lurk in the shadows.
