How to Protect Your Pet From Common Parasites

Parasites such as fleas, ticks, and heartworms can affect your pet’s health and, in some cases, create serious medical problems. Preventive care is an important part of keeping dogs and cats protected. Depending on your pet’s age, lifestyle, location, and health history, your veterinarian may recommend appropriate parasite prevention products and schedules. Regularly checking your pet, maintaining good hygiene, and following your veterinarian’s preventive-care recommendations can help reduce the risk of parasite-related illnesses and keep your pet comfortable and healthy.
