We offer comprehensive
parasite prevention products for all dogs and cats. Parasite prevention is
crucial for maintaining the health and well-being of your pet. Parasites such
as worms, fleas, ticks, and heartworms can cause serious health issues, ranging
from gastrointestinal problems and skin infections to life-threatening
conditions like organ damage or anemia. Regular parasite control not only
protects your pet from discomfort and disease but also reduces the risk of transmission
to other animals and even humans. By staying on top of preventive treatments,
you ensure your pet enjoys a longer, healthier life, free from the dangers and
discomfort of parasites.

Our pets are at risk of contracting both internal and
external parasites:

Severe infestations can lead to anaemia and, in extreme
cases, death, particularly in young animals. Regular treatment is crucial for
several reasons. It helps prevent serious health complications in pets, such as
organ damage and anemia, which can arise from untreated worm infestations.
Additionally, it reduces the risk of transmission to other animals and humans,
ensuring a safer environment for everyone. By keeping parasites at bay, regular
treatment also supports your pet’s overall health and well-being, helping them
stay active, comfortable, and free from the harmful effects of parasites.

Pets can contract intestinal worms through various routes,
including the ingestion of worm eggs from contaminated soil or faeces, or
through their mother’s milk, particularly in puppies and kittens. They may also
become infected by eating infected prey, such as rodents, or by ingesting
fleas, which can transmit tapeworms. Additionally, certain worms, like
hookworms, can enter the body through skin penetration. These routes highlight
the importance of regular parasite prevention and treatment to protect your
pet’s health. Because kittens and puppies are more likely to suffer severe
effects from parasitic infestation, we treat them more regularly.
