Treatment and Prevention of Fleas and Ticks

Autumn and Winter still present a risk of Flea Infestation and Tick Related illness

Fleas and ticks aren’t just unpleasant parasites; they also spread disease to your pet and sometimes to your family.  Keeping your dog in the best of health means ensuring freedom from fleas and ticks. 

It may not be obvious that these parasites are living on your pet or in your home, so checking for them properly means knowing what to look for.

St Boniface Vets is supporting the Big Flea Guarantee and, as part of the scheme, we are offering a FREE Flea Check for Dogs to all our dog-owning clients.  This is a free nurse appointment to check your dog for fleas and ticks and to offer advice about parasite control; helping give you peace of mind when considering what flea and tick treatment to choose for your dog.

New innovative treatments are now available from us which work faster, last longer and can cover a wider range of parasite risks that may threaten your dog’s health.

So, call us now 01363 772 860 or email to book your FREE Flea Check appointment.
