Parasite Control (Fleas, Ticks & Heartworms)

The notion of our beloved pets being infested with parasites is disconcerting, but it's not just an unsettling thought; it's a significant medical concern with potentially severe consequences. Parasites, both internal and external, can compromise your pet's quality of life and, in certain cases, pose life-threatening health risks.

Common Parasites: Internal and External

Internal parasites like heartworms, roundworms, hookworms, whipworms, and tapeworms, and external parasites like fleas and ticks, can adversely impact your pet's well-being.

Why Are Parasites Dangerous?

Fleas: These small, wingless, fast-moving insects, often visible in your pet's fur, can cause allergic reactions due to their saliva. Fleas can also transmit tapeworm if ingested during grooming. Infestations may lead to anemia, and fleas are capable of transmitting serious diseases.

Ticks: Ticks, part of the spider family, can be found both indoors and outdoors. While some tick bites cause mild irritation, others can lead to severe illnesses, including Lyme disease, if left untreated. Prompt removal by our trained professionals is crucial to limit the impact of a tick's attachment.

Heartworm Disease: Transmitted through infected mosquito bites, heartworms reside in the heart and surrounding blood vessels. Untreated heartworm infections can be fatal, making prevention crucial. Monthly oral medication is a common and effective preventive method.
