Keeping your pet free from parasites is an essential part of responsible pet ownership.

With customized parasite prevention plans, our experienced veterinary team ensures your pet stays healthy, happy, and free from discomfort.
Why Parasite Prevention is Essential
Parasites can cause serious health complications for pets, leading to skin irritation, infections, and even life-threatening diseases. Pet parasite prevention is crucial to protecting not only your pet’s health but also your family’s well-being, as some parasites can be transmitted to humans.
Common pet parasites include:
Fleas and Ticks – Can cause skin allergies, infections, and transmit diseases such as Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain spotted fever.
Heartworms – Spread by mosquitoes, heartworms can lead to severe lung disease, heart failure, and death if left untreated.
Intestinal Parasites – Hookworms, roundworms, and tapeworms can cause digestive issues and nutritional deficiencies.
Mites and Lice – Can cause severe skin conditions and discomfort in pets.
Preventative care helps protect pets year-round, reducing the risk of infections and costly treatments for parasite-related illnesses.
Our Comprehensive Parasite Prevention Services
We offer a full range of pet parasite prevention solutions to keep your pet safe. Our approach includes thorough examinations, parasite screenings, and tailored prevention plans based on your pet’s lifestyle and risk factors.
Pet Tick Prevention & Flea Control
Ticks and fleas are more than just a nuisance; they can transmit dangerous diseases. Our clinic provides topical treatments, oral medications, and collars designed to repel and eliminate these pests. Year-round protection ensures your pet is safeguarded from infestations.
Heartworm Prevention
Heartworm disease is a serious and potentially fatal condition that affects both dogs and cats. We offer monthly preventatives and annual heartworm testing to ensure your pet remains heartworm-free. Early detection is key, as treatment for heartworm disease can be costly and difficult.
Deworming & Intestinal Parasite Prevention
Many intestinal parasites are contracted through contaminated soil, water, or from other infected animals. Routine deworming treatments and fecal exams help detect and eliminate worms before they can cause harm.
Customized Parasite Prevention Plans
Each pet has unique needs based on their environment, lifestyle, and risk factors. Our veterinarians create customized parasite prevention plans that provide optimal protection for your pet year-round.
The Risks of Not Preventing Parasite Issues
Failing to protect your pet against parasites can result in severe health issues. Without pet parasite prevention, your pet may experience:
Experience:
Persistent scratching, irritation, and hair loss from flea infestations.
Painful infections or anemia caused by ticks and lice.
Life-threatening heartworm disease requiring intensive treatment.
Digestive problems, weight loss, and nutrient deficiencies from intestinal worms.
Increased risk of spreading parasites to other pets and family members.
Preventative care is far more affordable and effective than treating an active parasitic infection. Taking proactive steps now can save you and your pet from discomfort and expensive treatments down the road.
