However, we urge pet owners to look past the monthly cost of Heartgard, Nexgard and Frontline and consider that prevention is much less expensive than the cost to treat flea infestations, tick-borne diseases and Heartworm disease. If you are unsure if your pet would benefit from prevention during colder months, consult with your veterinary practice!
At House Paws, we strongly support an individualized approach to pet health, and we know that not every pet needs both types of preventatives all the time. Skip to content Search for: Search.

If left unchecked, a flea infestation can cause a pet to become lethargic and weak. Fleas can also cause allergic dermatitis or infect your pet with tapeworms.
Despite popular belief, fleas do not just disappear when winter comes knocking. They would love nothing more than to cozy up with you and your beloved pet by the fireplace. Completely mitigating a flea infestation is very difficult, especially considering how fast fleas reproduce. The best way to avoid the cost and frustration of flea extermination: year-round prevention. Our recommendations: Not every pet is exposed to fleas year-round.
Your pet is more at risk of carrying fleas into the house if you travel down to warmer climates in the winter, send your pet to boarding facilities or daycares where there are other dogs, or spend time outside on above-freezing days. In these circumstances, you may want to consider using Frontline or Nexgard all year, or at least during the colder months when your pet is traveling or staying at the kennel.
