Hosts Dr. Natalie Keith and Dr. Josiah Dame discuss current flea, tick, and heartworm prevention options — from the new Bravecto Quantum 12‑month injectable to monthly pills, topicals, and Seresto collars — and explain how each works and who they suit.

They compare pros and cons (including Lone Star tick efficacy and seizure‑history cautions), offer practical tips for choosing based on pet lifestyle and species (dogs vs. cats, indoor vs. outdoor), and emphasize the importance of consistent, year‑round prevention.
