  1. Use flea and tick prevention products recommended by your veterinarian, such as spot-on treatments, oral medications, or flea collars.
  2. Keep your pet's bedding and living areas clean by regularly washing their bedding and vacuuming carpets and furniture.
  3. Groom your pet regularly with a flea comb and check for any signs of fleas or ticks.
  4. Keep your yard and outdoor areas tidy by mowing the lawn, removing leaf litter, and trimming bushes to reduce the habitat for fleas and ticks.
