Protect Your Animals from Ticks and Fleas

Fleas and ticks are an infestation that can be difficult to deal with. Fleas are the most common parasites that impact animals. These insects can irritate the skin and transmit illnesses or parasites like tapeworms. Ticks are dangerous to animals and humans if these insects carry Lyme disease. Fleas and ticks are common in hot environments, and protecting your animals with proper veterinarian care helps keep them safe.

Protect from Dangerous Parasites

Many parasites make your animals sick, and these pests can be lethal. Heartworms are dangerous and are both painful for your animals and expensive. Preventative care can stop infections from becoming a problem. We can also protect from other parasites, such as roundworms and hookworms, that can also affect humans and animals.

Vaccines

Regular vaccines help protect your animals from viruses and other diseases. Vaccines are highly effective preventative care that protects animals from common viruses that can often prove fatal. The viruses that can affect your animals include rabies, parvo, and Lyme disease. The needed vaccines can vary depending on the type of animals you have.
