Flea & Tick Season in North Texas: Why Now’s the Time to Book a Mobile Grooming Appointment

Spring and summer are beautiful seasons in McKinney, Frisco, and Allen area, but they also come with an unwelcome surge in fleas and ticks. As temperatures warm and humidity increases, these pests become more active—posing serious risks to your dog’s comfort and health.

At Primped Pooches Mobile Dog Spa, we specialize in professional, stress-free grooming delivered right to your driveway. And right now, we’re encouraging all pet parents to take proactive steps with our flea and tick treatment services—safely administered in our state-of-the-art mobile grooming van.

If you haven’t already scheduled a spring or summer grooming session, here’s why now is the time.

Why Fleas and Ticks Are Worse in the Spring & Summer

Fleas and ticks thrive in warm, humid conditions—which makes North Texas a hotspot for infestations, especially from April through September.

• Fleas can lay up to 50 eggs per day, meaning even a single flea can quickly turn into a full-blown home infestation.
• Ticks become active when the temperature is above 45°F, and they’re notorious for hiding in tall grasses, woodsy backyards, and even on other animals.
  
  

Ticks and fleas don’t just irritate your dog’s skin. They also carry serious diseases. According to the CDC, ticks are responsible for transmitting Lyme disease, ehrlichiosis, and other illnesses that can affect both pets and humans. Fleas, on the other hand, can lead to tapeworms, anemia, and allergic dermatitis.

In fact, a 2024 report from the Companion Animal Parasite Council (CAPC) labeled much of Texas as “high risk” for tick-borne illnesses. Prevention is not just a luxury—it’s a necessity.

Why Mobile Grooming is Ideal for Flea & Tick Treatment

Mobile grooming offers more than just convenience—it’s a cleaner, safer, and more effective solution during flea and tick season. Here’s how:

1. Sanitary, One-on-One Care

Traditional grooming salons often treat multiple dogs at once in shared spaces. That means your dog could be exposed to fleas or ticks brought in by another pet. With mobile grooming, your pet is the only client during their appointment, eliminating that risk.

At Primped Pooches, we sanitize our equipment and mobile unit between every appointment to maintain a spotless, pest-free environment.

2. Tailored Flea & Tick Treatments

We use gentle, vet-approved flea and tick shampoos that eliminate pests on contact and soothe irritated skin. These treatments are part of a full grooming package that includes brushing, de-shedding, ear cleaning, nail trimming, and more.

Our expert groomers can also check for bites, ticks, and hotspots, letting you know if your dog might need follow-up veterinary care or ongoing prevention.

3. Less Stress for Your Dog (and You!)

Many dogs get anxious at traditional salons—especially when surrounded by other barking pets or unfamiliar smells. Our mobile grooming van provides a quiet, stress-free grooming space that keeps your dog calm and allows for better grooming results.

And you? You don’t have to drive across town, wait in a crowded lobby, or worry about your dog picking up pests from other animals.

4. Perfect Timing for Prevention

Spring and summer are when fleas and ticks are at their worst. Regular grooming with preventative treatment helps ensure that pests don’t have a chance to take hold—especially when paired with vet-prescribed preventatives at home.
