Treatment Option for Exploding Tick Population

The tick population has exploded with the milder winter. This post outlines a new treatment option that also repels and kills mosquitoes, sand feels, lice and mites.

While we have been enjoying our mild winter and warm spring weather, so have ticks. Never before have we pulled ticks off of dogs in the December to March period. We recommend starting to protect your dog against these pests immediately and continuing treatment until the end of November or potentially year around if we continue to have mild winters. now offers advanced flea and tick protection of Vectra 3D to our canine patients.
 
A simple, safe monthly application, Vectra 3D gives your dog the most complete and effective protection available against external parasites. It not only repels and kills fleas and ticks but also repels and kills mosquitoes, biting and sand flies, lice, and mites.
 
Vectra 3D repels fleas and ticks away from your dog's skin before they bite.This unique repellency action helps to prevent biting and feeding and in doing so, reduces the risk of disease transmission. Ticks in our area commonly carry serious diseases such as Lyme Disease, Anaplasmosis, and Erlichia. All three of these diseases can pose a health threat to your pet and are being seen with increasing frequency in our patients here at LePar. Vectra 3D works on contact, so pests do not need to bite your dog for Vectra to work.
 
Vectra 3D has a unique applicator that makes it clean and easy to apply to your dog. No drips, no mess, no need for scissors. We will be happy to answer your questions on correct product application before you take it home.
 
Vectra 3D is for use in dogs only. We recommend Revolution to keep our feline friends flea free and protected from deadly heartworm disease.


As with all prescription products, we must have examined your dog within the past year to dispense Vectra 3D. We have most sizes of Vectra 3D in stock right now and will have all available shortly. Call our office today to order Vectra 3D for your dog or to set an appointment.
