@thepuppyacademy: Just HOW important is monthly heartworm, flea and tick prevention for your puppy? We had Dr. Liz Hix from PAW Veterinary Center in Redondo Beach, CA join us to go over what new pup parents should expect during their first vet visit and answering Qs from our audience! It can seem like A LOT of vaccines and monthly treatments are needed for your new puppy. But it’s all for good reason. When it comes to monthly protections after your pup is fully vaccinated, YES it is very important and recommended to keep up with these to best protect your pup. Especially in areas like us in Southern California where these can be year-round issues. Always check with your local vet so they can help you make the best choices in keeping your pup healthy and safe. It’s always easier to prevent a problem than treat a problem. 🐶 #puppyhealth #newpuppy #puppyhelp #puppyschool #pawveterinarycenter @PAW Veterinary Center

What if your dogs are indoor dogs and ONLY go out to potty. No walks or anything

I could probably get away with skipping in winter... But I've had to deal with a flea infestation before. I don't want to ever do that again... So I'm doing monthly flea/tick/worm

north Carolina while they kinda go away over winter spring and summer is a huge problem and I lived in deer overpopulation area up until recently now I live next to goats and horses and foxes so by my local vet like 10 minutes from me recommend we continue doing them because they see flea and tick so often on the farm dogs

All are in issue in winter. Ticks will come out when it’s above 32 degrees. Fleas will happen in winter. And I’ve seen mosquitoes during winter. I’m in Wisconsin
