Vaccine Clinic FAQs
Fleas Can Jump Up to 100 Times Their Body Length
If humans had flea-level jumping power, we could leap over skyscrapers!
That means fleas can easily jump onto your dog during a quick walk — even if your yard looks clean.
One Flea Can Turn Into 250,000 in Just 30 Days
A single flea can lay up to 50 eggs per day. In just one month, a small problem can become a full-blown infestation in your home — not just on your dog.
Ticks Don’t Jump or Fly
Ticks climb onto grass and extend their front legs, waiting to grab onto a passing dog. This behavior is called “questing.”
That means your dog doesn’t have to be deep in the woods to pick one up — even local parks and neighborhoods can pose a risk.
Fleas & Ticks Are Active Year-Round
Many people think parasites are only a summer issue — but fleas and ticks can survive indoors and remain active during mild winters.
That’s why year-round prevention is often recommended.
