Living in Odessa, Florida, means pets face constant exposure to creepy-crawlie-hoppies like fleas, ticks, and heartworms. Our warm and humid climate lets these parasitic pests thrive all year long.

Today, the team at your local Odessa vet, Caring Paws Animal Hospital, will dig into the reasons why spring pet care should always include pest prevention.
