Fleas

[Devany]

We have an indoor cat and an indoor dog that goes for two walks a day and occasionally plays in our grass. Neither of them has had a single flea in 6.5 months (ever in their lives for that matter). We do have a pest control company spray the yard (1 acre) monthly. Maybe it maters where you are, as in will you be moving to a house and yard where there were animals before? If so chances are there could be fleas. We even took our dog to a camp out @Waipio Valley last weekend and hiked to the beach through the jungle. The vet administered a dose of Advantage Plus before they left the mainland as part of the requirement for importing animals. I have two more doses for each of them, your note makes me think I should apply them today! I guess it is better to be safe than sorry, but I hate applying chemicals to my animals.

Does anyone know about incidents of heart worm disease for domestic pets here? I am on our last doses of Heartguard now and not sure if I need to re-order.
