While flea and tick season is almost over here in New England, it may not be over wherever you are. Also, simply because it is getting colder does not mean your pets are no longer at risk. Quite the opposite. Fleas, and ticks can often lay dormant for some time. If you live in areas that are prone to wild animals, lots of woods or shrubs, then make sure you protect your pets at least until December. Those tickls that are still hanging around might have been on another animal, and trust me they would love to come inside to a nice warm dog every night.
