Local Medical Issues

Prevention is the best medicine.

In New England, parasite prevention seems to be the number one topic on everyone’s mind. From parasites that live on your furry friends, to the ones that live inside them, we have an answer. Unfortunately, we cannot control the outdoor environment, but we can control what happens in or on our pets and in our homes.

Fleas and ticks are such pests! We recommend year round prevention to combat both. If you have ever had a flea infestation or ever found your best friend covered with pesky hitchhikers, you know what we mean. Call us so we can help you choose a preventative to suit you and your pet's lifestyle.

Heartworms, as the name implies, live within the hearts of both dogs and cats. It is very important to give a monthly heartworm preventative to protect their hearts from the damage these worms can cause. Did you know indoor cats can get heartworm disease? All it takes is one infected mosquito to bite your cat. Did you know heartworm disease in cats can not be treated and can be fatal? Ask us about feline heartworm disease and prevention—we can help.

Thankfully, our wonderful veterinary pharmaceutical companies are always thinking forward, and heartworm preventatives for our cat and dog companions also treat several intestinal parasites that are commonly in our environment.

Remember heartworm tests and stool samples are an important part of your pet's preventative healthcare plan.
