Why Parasite Prevention Matters
Parasites aren’t just annoying—they can cause serious health problems in both pets and people. From fleas and ticks to heartworms and intestinal worms, these invaders can lead to skin conditions, organ damage, and even life-threatening illnesses.
Many parasites are difficult to detect in their early stages, making proactive prevention essential for your pet’s comfort, safety, and longevity.
Our Comprehensive Parasite Protection Services
We tailor each prevention plan to your pet’s lifestyle, age, and environment. Our approach includes:
Flea & Tick Prevention
Fleas can trigger skin allergies, spread tapeworms, and infest your home, while ticks can transmit dangerous diseases like Lyme, ehrlichiosis, and anaplasmosis. We offer safe, veterinary-recommended topical and oral preventives to stop infestations before they start.
Heartworm Prevention
Heartworms are transmitted by mosquitoes and can cause life-threatening heart and lung damage. We perform annual heartworm testing and prescribe effective monthly medications to prevent infection. Because there is no approved treatment for heartworm in cats, prevention is critical.
Intestinal Parasite Screening & Deworming
Internal parasites like roundworms, hookworms, whipworms, and tapeworms are common and often go unnoticed. They can cause anemia, vomiting, diarrhea, and even be transmitted to humans. We use advanced fecal testing—including antigen, microscopy, and PCR analysis—to catch and treat these parasites early.
