1. Treat your Pet.Use a shampoo, on-animal spray, oral or topical product year-round to help prevent your pet from picking up disease-carrying fleas and ticks. Don’t wait for warm weather, or until you see fleas and ticks. That just gives pests an opportunity to gain a foothold.

2. Treat your Home.Fleas, ticks and other pests don’t just stay on your pet. In fact, 90% of the flea population is not on your pet. Once they get in the house, they make their way into carpets, bedding, furniture and other places and begin to breed. Vet-Kem® home treatment products don’t just kill adult insects, they prevent their larvae from maturing, and can protect against flea and tick infestations.

3. Treat your Yard.Fleas and ticks lurk outdoors just waiting to hitch a ride inside on your pet. By proactively spraying or fogging your yard with Vet-Kem® environmental treatments, you can minimize or even help eliminate this population, reducing the chance for your pet or family to come in contact with fleas, ticks and other pests.

Did you know that no single flea and tick product — oral or topical — offers 100% protection against flea and tick infestations?Vet-Kem® brand offers a complete line of products for your pet, home and yard, providing effective, long-term control—and a comprehensive strategy to prevent and eliminate fleas and ticks.
