As the old saying goes, prevention is better than cure and the same applies to our pets.
Preventing or treating parasites can go a long way in protecting our pets from a range of illnesses. There are lots of combinations of preventative medicines including many over the counter products. Although these can often be a popular choice as they are easy to access in our weekly shop, they don't always do exactly what they say 'on the tin' which can leave our pets vulnerable to nasty, and sometimes fatal diseases.
Our vet will discuss all options with you allowing you to make an informed decision that best suits your animals' needs. We also offer inclusive health plans which deliver medication directly to your door, at the right time. This gives you a worry-free experience knowing that we've got your pet covered for the following parasites:
Types of parasite
Fleas - Can cause extreme reactions in allergic pets - Very difficult to get rid of
Ticks - Very serious infections - Necessity for walks in long grass or undergrowth
Worms - Regular treatment - Risk to humans and other pets
Mites - Demodex and Scabies, serious but rare - Cats can get ear mites and harvest mites
Lice - Very infectious - Dogs will be very itchy with visible eggs in their coat - develop into tapeworm
