Our cats and dogs are the joy of the family. These adorable creatures make us look forward to returning home after a long day. Unfortunately, their fluffiness is also a reason why ticks and fleas and other parasites love to call them home. A parasite infection can happen very easily and lead to many complications. There are certain precautions you can take to prevent flea or tick infections. Grooming your cats and dogs regularly will keep them clean and parasite-free.
