Flea Control
Recent advances in flea control have made it easier and safer than ever to control these parasites. Prior to the mid nineties the only defense pet owners had against fleas were insecticides in the form of collars, dips, sprays and foggers.
As veterinary professionals who have been working to control fleas for over thirty years we are able to provide you with the very best flea control products and the advice you need to customize a flea control program that works for you and your pets.
It’s important to note that we, as a professional establishment, maintain a relationship with the manufacturers of the products we carry. We stand behind these products and so do they. We want your pet to be happy!

Three Steps to Effective Flea Control
Step One Develop An Appropriate and Effective Control Plan
Have your veterinarian examine your pet and recommend a control strategy that is right for your pet and your family. Flea control programs vary. A program that is right for a pet that stays indoors all the time is not necessarily right for a pet that wanders. If you and your pets travel to areas that are highly infested or infested with different parasites, another program might be right for you.
Step Two Use The Best Flea Control Products Available
There are only a select few flea products on the market today that are effective and safe. Many products that are available commercially are either ineffective, toxic to your pet or children, or both. We carry only products which are both safe and effective.
Step Three Apply Your Flea Control Program Faithfully
The number one reason that flea control programs fail is the lack of diligence in their application. Once your pet and your home are flea-free it’s easy to forget that without regular treatments your pet and your home will become reinfested. South Side Veterinary Clinic has a reminder program so that your pet is never neglected.
