Make it a healthy New Year
Adding a few affordable products to your pet care routine can mean the difference between a year of pain and health problems or a year of comfort and happiness for your cat.

Top 3 keys to a happier, healthier year:

Flea & tick prevention
Heartworm prevention
Urinary health protection

Flea prevention to fight allergic dermatitis
By using one of the many excellent flea preventatives for cats currently available, you can help your pet avoid the pain, annoyance and frustration of itching and scratching that results from allergic dermatitis caused by flea bites.

Heartworm prevention once a month
The American Heartworm Society reported that cases of heartworm disease have been found in all 50 states, at all times of the year. All it takes is one bite from an infected mosquito to infect your cat. There's currently no treatment to cure heartworm disease in cats. That's why it's so important to make sure your cat is fully protected against deadly heartworm disease each and every day, without ever missing a dose.

Urinary tract health care for better hygeine
When cats accidentally urinate outside of their litterboxes, it's often because of a urinary tract issue. Keeping your cat's urinary system functioning properly is very important, because urinary tract infection (UTI) is a common cause of health issues in cats. Luckily, there are tasty, easy-to-administer supplements available to help promote optimal urinary tract health.

Vet Tip

Comprehensive monthly flea & heartworm preventatives should be administered year-round. Never miss a dose!
