Parasite Diagnosis and Prevention


Parasite Diagnosis and Prevention
Parasite prevention is crucial for preserving your pet’s health. Heartworms, roundworms, hookworms, whipworms, fleas, and ticks are some of the common parasites that pets are exposed to. Heartworm prevention is particularly important in warm southern states like Florida. Heartworms are transmitted by mosquitos and all dogs are at risk of infection. Fleas are also a constant problem in our area. Fleas can cause itching, allergies, and even transmit disease.
Our team of veterinarians and technicians can diagnose most parasite infections with our in-house lab within 10 minutes and recommend a treatment or prevention plan.
Preventing your pet from getting parasites is a team effort. We carry a variety of preventatives to help you protect your dog or cat. Contact us to learn which preventatives are appropriate for your pet.
