Why Vectra is a Good Option for Flea & Tick Control for Your Pets
It’s flea and tick season, and as always, it is critically important to protect your pet from them, as they can transmit deadly parasites and diseases to your cat or dog.
Vectra is a monthly topical preventative medication our clinic recommends for safe, effective protection. There are two versions, one for dogs, which protects against both fleas and ticks, and one is for cats, which protects against fleas. Please only use the appropriate one on your pets – applying the dog version on your cat can prove toxic to the cat.
Vectra comes with an easy-to-use applicator from which the pet owner simply squeezes the topical medication on to the back of their pet once a month. Your pet may get a “tingly” feeling after application, so it’s best to take them on a walk or play outside with them immediately following application, to get their mind off it.
Our veterinarians recommend Vectra because it is a safe, effective, virtually waterproof option that repels fleas and ticks before they attach to your pet. This product is available at our clinic at 1230 S. Commercial St. in Neenah, Wisconsin.
