IMPORTANT NOTICE TO CLIENTS

Novartis Animal Health US, Inc. is experiencing a temporary product shortage of SENTINEL® (milbemycin oxime/lufenuron) Flavor Tabs and INTERCEPTOR® (Milbemycin oxime) Flavor Tabs. Therefore, our practice has a limited available supply of these products. This shortage is caused by the FDA shut down of their manufacturing plant in Nebraska. Other affected drugs include Milbemite and Deramaxx. Atopica, Capstar and Adequan are not made at the facility and are therefore not an issue. These items are not currently available through our Pet Portal Online Store. We do not know when they will be able to resume normal deliveries of these products. At this time, we recommend you discuss Heartworm control options for your dog with any of our staff members. There are alternative products that offer excellent Heartworm protection. We apologize for any inconvenience and expect to have normal supplies again once Novartis Animal Health is able to ship us more product. Please contact our office at (530) 742-8809 with any questions:

UNDERSTANDING FLEAS

In just 30 days 25 female fleas can multiply to over a quarter million!

Fleas are wingless, bloodsucking insects that may cause excessive grooming, hair loss, anemia and tapeworm infection in your pet. And it's no wonder that pet owners have a difficult time eradicating fleas from their homes once they take up residence: Once an adult flea lands on a pet, she can lay 50 eggs a day and more than 2,000 eggs in a lifetime. The complete life cycle of the flea can be completed in as little as 14 days or prolonged up to 180 days. Adult fleas cannot survive or lay eggs without a blood meal, but may live in a pupal cocoon from 2 months to 1 year without feeding. Only 5% of a home's flea population is the adults that you can see. It can take 4 to 8 weeks or longer of topical preventative medication use to completely eradicate all flea life stages in the home. 90% of the flea life cycle occurs off the animal. For every 6 adult fleas seen, there are 300 immature stages in the environment or on the pet. Just a low level of infestation of fleas in various stages in the environment can take a considerable amount of time to overcome. Since there are no products labeled that eliminate the pupal stage of the flea, it is important to keep your pet healthy and protected from fleas with a monthly preventive medicine.
