Parasites pose a risk to your pet all year round, which is why a consistent protection plan is necessary. There is a range of preventives available on the market and our team will work with you to determine which ones best suit your pet's needs. In some cases, your dog or cat may need a combination of preventives to protect them against internal and external parasites. Others are broad spectrum, which means they can protect against various parasites. Internal and external parasites that pose a risk to your pet's health include:

• Fleas
• Ticks
• Heartworms
• French Heartworms
• Roundworms
• Whipworms

Why do indoor and outdoor pets need protection?

Even if your cat spends the majority of their time indoors, parasites can still find their way into your home by hitching a ride on another pet, or by sneakily making their way in through openings like windows or doors. Internal and external parasites also carry a range of illnesses that can be harmful to both you and your cat/dog. For example, ticks carry Lyme disease and heartworms cause heartworm disease. Parasites don't have an off-season, though the risk of infection can heighten depending on your dog or cat's overall health, lifestyle, or environment. Setting up parasite protection will provide you with peace of mind and your dog or cat with the preventives they need. To discuss the best preventives for your pet, please contact us at 709-256-3891.
