Protection From Parasites

Why Parasite Prevention Matters

Parasites can affect pets of all ages and lifestyles—whether they’re mostly indoors or love the great outdoors. Regular parasite control for pets helps prevent conditions like anemia, skin infections, Lyme disease, heartworm disease, and gastrointestinal illness.

Many parasites are invisible to the naked eye and may go undetected without routine screening or preventive care. That’s why our veterinary team recommends a proactive approach to prevention and early detection.

Flea and Tick Prevention for Dogs and Cats

Flea and Tick Prevention for Dogs and Cats

Fleas and ticks are more than just itchy pests. They can transmit serious diseases such as Lyme, ehrlichiosis, and tapeworms. We offer a range of safe flea treatments for pets, along with flea and tick prevention that includes topical treatments, oral preventatives, and collars tailored to your pet’s lifestyle.

If you’ve noticed scratching, biting, or hair loss, we can help identify the problem and start treatment right away.

Heartworm Prevention and Pet Deworming

Heartworm prevention is essential, especially for dogs. Transmitted by mosquitoes, heartworms can cause permanent heart and lung damage if left untreated. Monthly preventatives are easy to administer and offer powerful protection.

We also recommend regular pet deworming to treat and prevent roundworms, hookworms, tapeworms, and whipworms. Many of these intestinal parasites can spread to humans, so keeping your pet protected helps safeguard your entire household.
