Parasite Prevention: Protecting Your
Pet from Heartworms, Fleas, and Ticks
As pet owners, we want the best for them. One way to ensure their health and happiness is through regular parasite prevention. Our clinic offers a range of preventive measures to protect your pet from heartworms, fleas, and ticks.
Heartworms: Prevention Is Key
Heartworms are a serious and potentially fatal disease that is preventable in dogs and cats with a simple monthly pill or topical medication. However, heartworms can be costly and dangerous to treat if left untreated. Our team will work with you to determine the best preventive medicine for your pet’s needs.
Fleas and Ticks: Prevention and Treatment
Fleas and ticks are a nuisance and threaten your pet’s health. Did you know that a flea can lay up to 30 eggs daily? To effectively prevent fleas, treating your pet and their environment is important. Our team will help you choose the right preventive products and provide tips on treating your pet’s environment.
Tips for Effective Flea Prevention
Vacuuming is an essential step in flea prevention. We recommend vacuuming slowly and paying extra attention to cracks in hardwood floors, edges of the floors along walls, and under and between couch cushions.
Washing your pet’s bedding, fabric toys, and blankets regularly can also help to prevent fleas. Treating your home and car with anti-flea products can eliminate fleas, too.
Treating the Outdoors
Treating the outdoors is just as important as treating the indoors. Fleas and ticks thrive in shady areas, such as under decks and bushes.
We recommend treating your yard with products that attach to a hose and are sprayed. It’s important to treat when the temperature is over 60°F and to focus on areas that receive less direct sunlight.
