The Animal Anti-Cruelty League (AACL) urges the community to watch out for ticks and fleas on their animals. These pests not only cause an irritation to the skin that leads to scratching, but can also carry disease.
The league has a few samples of Practic to give away, but unfortunately only for dogs weighing 22kg to 50kg.

Practic is used to treat and prevent flea and tick infestations on dogs for a period of four weeks. Samples can be collected at the kennels.
