| 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 |
|
 |
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. |
|
|
 |
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. |
|
|
 |
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.
