“Pets that are allowed to roam and hunt can bring infected fleas from dead rodents back into the home, putting you and your children at risk,” Dr. Paul Ettestad, public health veterinarian for the NMDOH, said in a statement Monday.
“Keeping your pets at home or on a leash and using an appropriate flea control product is important to protect you and your family.”
