Are you keeping your pets safe from parasites?

As the weather warms up and your pets start spending more time outside, we wanted to remind you of the dangers of parasites.

🦟  External parasites like fleas, ticks, lice, and ear mites can cause discomfort, pain, and in some cases, transmit dangerous diseases to your pet. Remember that not all external parasites are visible with the naked eye, so even if you can't see any, it doesn't mean they're not there. It's important to check your pet's skin regularly and take the necessary measures to protect your pet from parasites.

🪱 Internal parasites, like worms, live inside your pet's body - and can be uncomfortable and dangerous to your pet. Regular fecal exams and prevention treatment can help detect and protect your pet from internal parasites.

You can protect your pets by:

Keeping their preventatives up to date
Washing your hands after being outside
Keeping your home and yard clean
Keeping wild and feral animals away from your yard
Being careful in areas where animals congregate

If your pet shows symptoms, call your veterinarian for advice.
