Parasite Prevention

Fleas, ticks, worms, and mosquitoes: no one likes them. Protecting your pet from these parasites is essential for the health of both your furry and human family members:

• Fleas – lead to allergic dermatitis, tapeworm infections, hot spots, and household infestations
• Intestinal worms – create health issues and pose infection risks to humans
• Ticks – spread serious diseases to pets and humans alike, including Lyme disease
• Mosquitoes – transmit potentially fatal heartworm disease, which continues spreading across the country

Along with preventive treatments, remember to examine your pets for fleas and ticks after outdoor activities. At Arcadia Animal Hospital, we know that prevention beats treatment every time! We offer various flea, tick, and heartworm preventives, with many products also protecting against certain intestinal parasites. Our veterinarians will recommend the best option for your pet’s needs.
