What’s Included in Our Pet Parasite Prevention Plans?
Our parasite prevention services are designed to safeguard your pet from the inside out. During your visit, we’ll perform a full physical exam and discuss your pet’s daily habits, travel history, and environmental exposures. Then, based on your pet’s individual needs, we’ll recommend the best protection options.
Our plans typically include:
- Flea and tick prevention – Monthly topical or oral medications that kill and repel parasites before they bite.
- Heartworm prevention – Safe, effective monthly preventives that block transmission of heartworms via mosquito bites.
- Intestinal parasite control – Regular deworming and fecal testing to detect and treat roundworms, hookworms, tapeworms, and more.
- Tick-borne disease monitoring – Testing and ongoing observation for conditions such as Lyme disease and ehrlichiosis.
We offer a variety of veterinary-grade parasite prevention products, including chewables, spot-on treatments — so you can choose what’s best for your pet and your routine.
Why Parasite Prevention Matters
Parasites aren’t just annoying — they’re dangerous. Left untreated, infestations can lead to:
- Skin infections, anemia, and allergic reactions
- Painful itching and hair loss from fleas or mites
- Serious illness or death from heartworm disease
- Transmission of zoonotic diseases to humans and other pets
According to the American Heartworm Society, heartworm disease is found in all 50 states and continues to rise in prevalence — especially in warm, humid regions like Florida. Preventing heartworms and other parasites is far easier, safer, and more affordable than treating the diseases they cause.
Benefits of Year-Round Parasite Control
- Protects against deadly diseases like heartworm and Lyme
- Reduces discomfort from fleas, ticks, and internal parasites
- Keeps your home and family safe from zoonotic risks
- Improves your pet’s quality of life and longevity
- Avoids costly emergency treatments and hospitalizations
Even indoor pets need protection — parasites can hitch a ride indoors on clothing, shoes, and other animals. That’s why we recommend consistent, year-round parasite prevention for all pets.
