Why? It's the start of mosquito season in many key regions of Canada. Mosquitoes are carriers for the heartworm larvae which are transferred into the bloodstream when a mos- quito bites the animal. This is a potentially fatal disease in both dogs and cats. As the weather heats up, emerging fleas can also infest your dog or cat. Adult fleas feed on the pet itself, consuming blood and causing irritation. If you brush your pet with a wet white towel, you may see red spots. These are flea feces, indi- cating a current flea infestation. Not only are fleas bothersome - to the pet, they can cause irrita- tion to the skin and flea allergy dermatitis.
