Parasite Prevention

The old concept of "heartworm season" is a thing of the past. "Heartworm" medication now prevents many other parasites from developing in your pet. Monthly parasite prevention is now recommended for year-round application because these parasites can develop during any season of the year. Parasite control includes heartworms, intestinal worms, fleas and ticks.

A blood test is required to check for possible heartworm infection prior to beginning the parasite preventative (except for puppies less than 6 months of age). Heartworm disease is a very serious problem. Heartworms will live in your dog's (or cat's) heart and lung arteries. These worms can cause heart failure and death. Most pets with heartworms do not show evidence of the disease in the early stages of infection. Early detection with blood tests and routing preventative medication are vital to stopping this disease. ALL dogs are at risk of heartworm disease because it is transmitted by infected mosquitoes that bite your dog.

Fleasbug

Fleas can make your dog very uncomfortable and also allow a flea infestation into your home. Parasite prevention includes stopping a flea infestation before it starts. Flea control is also important since some fleas transmit intestinal tapeworms to your pet.

 

Tickstickblow

Tick control is important for your pet's health too. Ticks can attach to the skin under the hair coat where you may not notice the tick for many days. Some ticks are also responsible for transmitting Lyme's disease, Ehrlichiosis and Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever.

 

Intestinal Worms

Intestinal worms (roundworms, hookworms and whipworms) are abundant in the environment. Pets can acquire these worms from infected soil of feces. Intestinal worms can cause vomiting, bloody diarrhea, anemia and stunted growth. Hookworms and roundworms also pose a threat to human health if your family members are exposed to the worm eggs. Prevention is much easier and safer than treatment after the problem has developed.
