Introduction:
Fleas, ticks, and heartworms are common parasites that can harm your pet’s health and cause serious medical conditions. At Family Veterinary Practice, we provide comprehensive parasite prevention treatments to protect your pets year-round.
Fleas and Ticks:
Fleas and ticks can transmit harmful diseases to both pets and humans, such as Lyme disease and flea allergy dermatitis. These parasites can also cause severe itching and discomfort for your pet.
Heartworm Prevention:
Heartworms are a serious concern, especially in the Mississippi River valley. Spread by mosquitoes, heartworms can cause irreversible damage to your pet’s heart and lungs. Our clinic offers heartworm prevention treatments to ensure your pet stays healthy.
