Parasite Prevention

We know how much you care for your pets, and their happiness and well-being are our top priorities. Protecting them from parasites is essential not only for their health but also for the safety of your family. That’s why we offer comprehensive parasite and flea prevention services.

Understanding the types of parasites your pet may encounter helps us create an effective prevention plan. Parasites can be external, like fleas and ticks, or internal, like heartworms and intestinal worms.

Here’s a Quick Overview:

Heartworms

Spread by mosquitoes, these can be deadly but are preventable with the right measures.

Ticks

Active in warmer months, ticks carry diseases like Lyme Disease, making regular checks and prevention crucial.

Intestinal Worms

These can affect both pets and humans, so regular deworming is important.

Fleas and Giardia

Common in pets, these can cause discomfort and serious health issues.

Symptoms to Watch For

Early detection of parasites is key to effective treatment. Look out for signs like pale gums, poor appetite, diarrhea, vomiting, weight loss, lethargy, and excessive scratching. If you notice any of these, it’s important to get your pet checked by a veterinarian.

Preventative Measures

Preventing parasites is easier than treating them, so we offer a range of preventative options:

Heartworm Prevention

We provide regular screenings and a variety of preventatives, including chewable tablets and injectables.

Flea and Tick Prevention

From collars to spot treatments and flea baths, we have solutions to keep these pests at bay.

Intestinal Worm Prevention

Tailored deworming treatments keep your pet safe from harmful worms.

Ear and Skin Mite Prevention

Topical treatments eliminate mites and promote healing.

Preventative care typically starts when puppies and kittens are just a few weeks old and continues throughout their lives. Our veterinary team will help you develop a personalized plan for keeping your pet parasite-free.
