Parasite Prevention
Parasites are disease-carrying vectors that can be a serious threat to your pet if they’re not receiving monthly preventatives. Fleas, ticks, and mosquitoes can be difficult for pets to avoid if they spend time outdoors, so they need to be protected. Common pet parasites include:
Heartworms
Ticks
Fleas
Tapeworms
Roundworms
Hookworms
Common parasite-borne diseases include:
Heartworm disease
Ehrlichiosis
Anaplasmosis (rare)
Rocky Mountain spotted fever
Lyme disease (rare)
Heartworms are spread by infected mosquitoes, while ehrlichiosis, anaplasmosis, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, and Lyme disease are spread by tick bites. Since these pests are active all year round, it’s essential that you administer monthly doses of heartworm and flea and tick preventatives.
