Keep Your Pet Safe fromParasites
Parasites can cause discomfort, disease, and even life-threatening conditions in pets. Fortunately, prevention is easy with the right plan. During your pet’s routine wellness exam, our team will review the most appropriate flea, tick, and heartworm prevention options based on your pet’s age, lifestyle, and exposure risks.
We’ll take the time to answer your questions and recommend safe, veterinarian-approved preventatives—whether it’s a chewable tablet, topical treatment, or combination product.
WhyParasite PreventionMatters
Parasites aren’t just a nuisance—they can spread serious illnesses to your pets and even to humans. Common threats in the Columbus area include:
Fleas
which can trigger allergies and infest your home
Ticks
which carry diseases like Lyme and Ehrlichiosis
Heartworms
transmitted by mosquitoes, which can cause serious heart and lung damage
Intestinal parasites
such as roundworms and hookworms
Even indoor pets are at risk. That’s why we recommend year-round prevention for all cats and dogs, regardless of their environment.
PersonalizedPrevention Plans
We know every pet is different. That’s why we’ll help you build a customized prevention plan that fits your pet’s lifestyle and your preferences. Common options we offer and discuss during visits include:
Monthly oral or topical flea and tick preventatives
Heartworm prevention products
Combination products that protect against multiple parasites
Easy-to-administer treatments for both cats and dogs
Many of these products are available through our in-house pharmacy or online store, making it easy to stay on track.
