What are the benefits of a parasite prevention plan?

Our plan of action is to prevent and protect your pet from any pests wanting to invade their bodies and your home. This can be done through a regular prescription of preventative medication and grooming techniques. As your pet’s immunity gets stronger, so does their ability to fight off unwanted parasites. Not only does this keep your pet safe, but it also stops them from spreading it to other pets and humans. A win all around.

What kind of parasites can infect my pet?

There are two kinds of parasites, internal and external. Internal parasites can live and reproduce inside your pet’s body, while external parasites live on their skin. Some common internal and external parasites include:

• Heartworms
• Roundworms
• Tapeworms
• Hookworms
• Mites, ticks, and fleas

How do I know if my pet is infected?

The best way to know is to regularly get your pet tested or keep them on a parasite prevention plan. Our team will examine and diagnose the source of their discomfort. If you notice a change in their appetite, skin, weight and bowel movements, bring them in to see one of our veterinarians.
