March is the season of lucky clovers and good fortune, but when it comes to protecting your dog from fleas and ticks in Hampton Roads, luck shouldn’t be part of the plan.
Our coastal climate makes the region especially friendly for parasites. With mild winters, humid summers, and plenty of wooded parks and waterways, fleas and ticks can stay active much longer than many pet parents expect.
Dogs across Norfolk, Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, and the surrounding Hampton Roads communities can pick up parasites during everyday activities like:
-
Walking through grassy neighborhoods
-
Visiting local parks or trails like First Landing State Park
-
Playing at dog parks or outdoor events
-
Spending time in backyards where wildlife passes through
And once fleas get inside your home, they can spread quickly into carpets, furniture, and pet bedding.
Why Monthly Prevention Can Be Hard to Keep Up With
Many pet parents do their best to stay consistent with monthly flea and tick treatments. But life gets busy.
A reminder gets missed. A dose gets delayed. Protection runs out before the next one is given.
Those small gaps are exactly when fleas and ticks take advantage.
