Between work schedules, school activities and everyday responsibilities, pet care can sometimes become just another item on a family's growing to-do list.

That's why many veterinarians encourage pet owners to think beyond seasonal flea and tick prevention. Fleas and ticks can pose risks throughout the year, making consistent protection an important part of a dog's overall health and wellness routine.

Veterinarian Keri Shaver says year-round protection can help pet owners avoid gaps in coverage while simplifying preventive care. Rather than trying to remember monthly treatments or restarting protection after a lapse, many pet owners look for options that fit more easily into their routines.

Consistent protection also gives dog owners peace of mind when spending time outdoors, whether they're heading to a neighborhood park, hiking a favorite trail or simply enjoying time in the backyard with their pets.
