Being Bugged by Fleas?
Here at Lifetime Animal Care Center, we hear about and treat many flea-related issues, injuries and illnesses nearly everyday, and nearly year-round.

  We joke that San Diego must be the Flea Capital of The World.

  Fleas...UGH! Not only are they gross, they can also cause discomfort, injury, illness, and even transmit tapeworm. 

Your veterinarians and staff members at Lifetime Animal Care Center are here to help.  Be sure to watch the video, compliments of one our vendors.  Scroll down to view the handy product comparison guide.  We'd love to chat with you, too.  We'd be happy to answer any questions and discuss the best flea control options for your precious pet, and your particular situation.
