Flea & Tick Prevention

Protecting Pets From Fleas, Ticks, and the Problems They Bring

Fleas and ticks may seem like small pests, but they can create big problems for your pet. From constant itching and discomfort to the spread of disease, these parasites are more than just a nuisance. At Blue Cross Veterinary Clinic, we offer safe, reliable flea and tick prevention tailored to your pet’s age, size, and lifestyle. Our team will help you choose the best prevention method—whether that’s a monthly topical, oral medication, or long-lasting solution—so your pet can enjoy every season without the scratching. Serving pets in Aberdeen, Hoquiam, and the surrounding Grays Harbor County communities, we’re here to make parasite prevention simple and stress-free.

Why Flea and Tick Prevention Matters

Even indoor pets aren’t immune to fleas and ticks, especially if they share a home with other animals or spend time outside occasionally. These pests can cause skin infections, allergic reactions, and transmit serious diseases. Preventing infestations before they start is easier, safer, and more affordable than treating them after the fact—and it means less stress for both you and your pet.

Our Flea & Tick Prevention Services Include:

  • Topical and oral preventatives – We’ll help you choose from veterinarian-approved products that suit your pet’s needs.

  • Year-round protection plans – Consistent use of preventatives to stop fleas and ticks in every season.

  • Customized recommendations – Based on your pet’s lifestyle, age, and risk of exposure.

  • Treatment for active infestations – If your pet already has fleas or ticks, we’ll treat the problem quickly and thoroughly.

  • Education for at-home prevention – Tips for keeping your home and yard free of pests.

  • Monitoring during wellness visits – We check for signs of fleas or ticks at every exam to catch issues early.

  • "This vet and staff are great. How many vets pick up your dog and hug him? After surgery he was hungry and they fed him before I could get there to pick him up. Very fair prices, clean and wonderful!"

  • "Best DVM in Grays Harbor. Excellent prices, but fancy. Been a fixture for decades, and knowledgeable. Kind to my dog too. Gets down on the ground, instead of exciting the animal on the exam table. Great Doc!"

  • "I am so thankful I found Blue Cross Veterinary Clinic. Dr. Bergey takes time to listen and explain.. Our fur babies mean the world to us and I am so glad to have finally found a vet who cares with a staff that cares."
