Keeping pets happy and healthy is every pet parent's top priority, and protecting them from fleas and ticks plays a big role in their overall wellbeing. As we head into the fall and winter months, what should pet owners be aware of in terms of fleas and ticks? Well, it's a common misconception that flea and tick activity slows down in the cooler months. In reality, these parasites are resilient, able to survive indoors and even withstand 30-degree temperatures. That means the risk of Lyme disease, tapeworms and other flea and tick-borne health concerns persist year-round for both your pet and your family - especially when enjoying fall activities like hiking, checking out the foliage and more. When it comes to protecting against fleas and ticks there are several options out there; however, they all require pet owners to remember to give treatment on a consistent basis and according to a recent global survey commissioned by Merck Animal Health, 46% of dog owners struggle to remember when to give treatment. Moreover, 56% of pet owners find administering flea and tick medication challenging. A new option, BRAVECTO(R) QUANTUM is the first and only parasiticide that protects dogs against fleas and ticks for an entire year in just one dose.* It's administered by a vet once yearly, meaning pet owners can get the injectable for their dog when they bring them in for their yearly checkup, and then they're protected from fleas and ticks for a full 12 months.* This is a game changer for veterinarians as this provides built-in compliance - they no longer have to worry about pet parents missing doses. Plus it provides pet owners with convenience and peace of mind knowing their dog is protected year-round.* To learn more talk to your veterinarian and for more into about the product, visit us.bravecto.com . *BRAVECTO(R) QUANTUM kills adult fleas, prevents flea infestations and treats and controls ticks (black-legged, American dog tick and brown dog tick) for 12 months. BRAVECTO(R) QUANTUM also kills lone star ticks for 8 months.

00:00So we know that there's a common misperception at this time of year that
00:06flea and tick populations decline. We actually know that flea and tick
00:11populations rise this time of year. It's perfect temperature for fleas and ticks.
00:14They'll actually move indoors and we actually find that they are very
00:18resilient and as we get into the really colder weather they actually can survive
00:22in temperatures even into the 30s. So your pet is still open to diseases like
00:27Lyme disease, tapeworms, and other flea and tick-borne illnesses. So it's really
00:32important to remember that we now know there is no flea season, there is no tick
00:35season. It's year-round and if you're going to be outside enjoying the full
00:39weather, hiking with your pet, just checking out the leaves or any other
00:43activities, make sure you're protecting your pet because ultimately if you're
00:47protecting the pet you're helping to protect the family against a lot of
00:51these tick and flea-borne illnesses that can be zoonotic, that can be transmitted
00:55from fleas and ticks that have been on your pet. So there are many products out
01:00there that you can use but they all rely on you being able to remember to give
01:05them on a regular consistent basis and therein lies the rub. Merck Animal Health
01:09did a global survey and found that 46% of pet owners could not remember to
01:14consistently give a product and that 56% of owners were actually having
01:18trouble administering products to their pets.
01:21So that's where it's nice to be able to share with you what I consider is a game
01:24changer. It's Bervecto Quantum. It's the first and only parasitociding class that
01:30provides a full 12 months protection against fleas
01:35and most ticks with a single dose. Now this is administered by your
01:41veterinarian. It's an injection that can be given
01:44while you're there for the yearly visit and it provides you a full year of
01:48protection against fleas and most ticks. And that for me is a game changer
01:52because we want to see a full 12 months compliance.
01:57And we know that everyone's busy. Life's just busy. You're
02:01trying to keep up with a job. You're trying to keep up with your house and your
02:04family and your pet. And it's just one more thing to keep up with.
02:07So if we can take that off your plate and give you the peace of mind and keep
02:12your pet healthy, that that's what we want to do. So I'd like you to talk to
02:16your veterinarian. They are the local expert. They know
02:20you. They know your pet. They know your lifestyle.
02:22They're the best ones that can advise you how Bervecto Quantum can fit in.
02:26And also use caution if your pet has a history of seizures
02:30or neurological disorders. And there's also more information available for you at
02:34US.Bervecto.com. Now the fun bit is that Bervecto Quantum gives you not only 365 days
02:43of full protection so you and your pet can enjoy outdoor activities together,
02:47but the brand now wants to give you a full year of outdoor adventure.
02:51And it's adventure gear. It stays in fuel. It's valued at $14,600. And it's a sweepstake. And it's at
02:58quantum365sweeps.com. So go to the website. There's no purchase necessary and the rules
03:04and restrictions are there for you.
