Are You Itching to Protect Your Pets

From Parasites?

DID YOU KNOW?
- A single flea can drink 15 times its weight in blood each day.
- You can buy 11 years of heartworm prevention and pay less than the cost of treating your dog one time for heartworm disease.
- Up to 15% of commercial soil contains roundworm eggs.

Parasite prevention can help ensure that your dog or cat is healthy and happy.

1.  Fleas and ticks are blood drinking parasites that can also transmit serious diseases to pets.  Ticks can transmit Lyme Disease, and fleas can transmit tapeworms and Barantella - the bacteria that can cause cat scratch fever in humans.  Call today to find out about which monthy mainenance program we recommend to keep  your pet safe.

2.  Heartworms are transmitted by mosquitoes, and they can infect both dogs and cats.  Even indoor pets aren't completely safe from heartworms:  25% of heartworm infected cats live completely indoors.  Heartworms can damage the heart and lungs and can even cause death.  Let us help you select the best regimen for your animal.

3.  Roundworms, hookworms and other intestinal parasites can cause serious illness in pets.  Some of these parasites are even transmissible to humans!  We conduct fecal tests during each annual exam that identify these parasites as well as medications that can safely and effectively control them.  Ask us how to protect your pets and family!
