Why Heartworm, Flea & Tick Prevention Matters for Your Pet
Unchecked parasites can threaten your pet’s health and happiness. Heartworms, fleas, and ticks are more than just a nuisance; they bring significant health risks.
Routine heartworm and flea/tick prevention safeguards against diseases such as Lyme, ehrlichiosis, and heartworm disease, which can be deadly and expensive to treat. Preventive care also stops skin irritation, allergies, and secondary infections before they disrupt your pet’s daily life. With comprehensive parasite prevention, your pet enjoys more active, comfortable years with you.
Prevent Deadly Heartworm Disease
Heartworms can cause irreversible cardiac and lung damage in dogs, cats, and even horses if left undetected. Consistent prevention is far more effective than treating the disease.
Protect Against Regional Flea & Tick Risks
’s climate supports heavy flea and tick populations throughout spring, summer, and fall. Prevention limits your pet’s exposure to parasites that transmit regional illnesses like Lyme disease.
Improve Your Pet’s Daily Comfort
Effective flea and tick prevention helps avoid chronic itching, skin allergies, and the anxiety that comes with parasite infestations. Your pet enjoys their home and outdoor environment without discomfort.
