Preventing your pet from getting parasites is one of the greatest gifts you can give them. Parasites in dogs and cats like fleas, ear mites, heartworms, roundworms, whipworms, and hookworms can devastate your pet’s health if left untreated. Here at Best Friends Veterinary Hospital, our passion is to help your pets live long and healthy lives. While there are many available options for heartworm, flea, tick, and intestinal parasite treatment/prevention, please discuss specific prevention and treatment options with our veterinarians at your pet’s next check up.
