| Protect your pet from parasites! |
Happy spring! Parasite protection for your pet is important all year long, but
warmer weather often means more outdoor activities and time spent outdoors,
which in turn leads to increased exposure to parasites.
Some of these pests are specific only to certain regions of the country, but one
thing is true everywhere: parasites aren't just a nuisance; they're a very real
threat to your pet's health and well-being.
OVERVIEW:
* FLEAS - transmit tapeworms and Bartonellosis, and their bites can result in
very uncomfortable skin problems for your pet - and even anemia, in extreme
cases.
* TICKS - transmit several dangerous diseases, such as Lyme disease, Rocky
Mountain Spotted Fever, Ehrlichia, and Anaplasmosis.
* MOSQUITOES - cause itchy bites, of course, but much more dangerous is their
ability to transmit heartworms.
* HEARTWORMS - mature heartworms and larvae can live in your pet's lungs and
blood vessels. (Dogs risk heartworms taking up residence in the heart itself!)
These deadly parasites can grow over 12 inches long, and cause damage to the
heart muscle as well as blockages in the bloodstream. Even indoor pets can be at
risk.
* INTESTINAL PARASITES - an array of parasites that can cause vomiting,
diarrhea, and extreme physical discomfort. Equally worrisome, some intestinal
parasites are zoonotic, meaning they can be transmitted from pets to human
family members.
Good news, though: These dangerous parasites are easily prevented! Consult us
for a personalized protection plan for your pet, and be sure to stay on schedule
with your pet's parasite prevention.
