- Fleas: Cause itching, skin infections, and can transmit tapeworms.
- Ticks: Can transmit Lyme disease and other infections.
- Heartworms: Spread by mosquitoes, heartworms can cause severe heart and lung disease.
- Roundworms & Hookworms: Intestinal parasites that can cause digestive issues and poor growth.
- Ear Mites: Common in cats and dogs, causing ear infections and discomfort.
Why Prevention Matters
Parasite infestations can lead to anemia, allergies, infections, and even life-threatening conditions. Prevention not only protects your pet but also your family, as some parasites can transmit zoonotic diseases (spread from animals to humans).
Effective Prevention Strategies
- Regular Vet Check-Ups: Routine screenings help detect parasites early.
- Preventive Medications: Monthly spot-on treatments, oral medications, or collars protect against fleas, ticks, and heartworms.
- Clean Living Environment: Regularly wash pet bedding and vacuum living areas.
- Avoid High-Risk Areas: Be cautious of areas known for heavy parasite presence.
- Grooming: Frequent brushing and bathing help remove parasites and spot early signs.
