Parasite Control

Parasite Control: Keeping Your Pet Safe from Harmful Parasites

Protecting your pet from parasites should be a top priority. Parasites such as fleas, ticks, and worms can cause significant health problems for your furry friend, ranging from discomfort to life-threatening diseases. Our parasite control services are designed to prevent and treat these issues, ensuring your pet stays healthy and comfortable year-round.

The importance of parasite control

Parasites can affect both indoor and outdoor pets. Fleas, ticks, and mosquitoes are common carriers of diseases, while intestinal worms like roundworms and hookworms can be transmitted through contaminated soil or other animals.

Preventing parasites not only keeps your pet healthy but also helps protect your household from diseases that can be transmitted to humans, especially children.

Common parasites and diseases

Parasites come in many forms, and each poses a unique risk to your pet. Common parasites include:

• Fleas: These tiny pests can cause intense itching, allergic reactions, and tapeworm infestations.
• Ticks: Known carriers of Lyme disease and other serious illnesses, ticks can latch onto your pet’s skin, often going unnoticed until they cause symptoms.
• Heartworms: Transmitted by mosquitoes, heartworms are life-threatening and can cause damage to your pet’s heart and lungs if left untreated.
• Roundworms and Hookworms: These intestinal parasites can cause vomiting, diarrhea, and weight loss in pets, and they can also be passed to humans.
