Unfortunately, heartworms, fleas and ticks can be a year-round problem in Florida. Since there is often not a ‘hard freeze’ each winter, these pests can proliferate year after year. Because of this, we recommend year-round heartworm, flea and tick prevention.
We recommend the following preventative medications:
Revolution Plus
