How will a parasite prevention plan help my pet?
Our job is to ensure that your furry loved one’s health is always protected. By boosting their immune system, we can help prevent them from contracting and spreading harmful diseases. When you keep your pet safe, you also keep other pets and humans safe. To exterminate any external or internal parasites, our team may recommend a regular prescription of preventative medication and grooming techniques.
What kind of parasites can infect my pet?
It can be hard to tell if a parasite has infected your pet, so we always recommend bringing them in for routine exams and testing. If left untreated, they can seriously harm your furry friend’s health and even be fatal. Your pet can contract two types of parasites, internal and external. Internal parasites live and can reproduce inside your pet’s body, while external parasites can be found outside their body, usually on their skin. Some common internal and external parasites include:
- Mites, ticks, and fleas
- Tapeworms
- Heartworms
- Roundworms
- Hookworms
