Local Medical Issues
Having a pet is a wonderful experience. However, you should be aware of the zoonotic diseases, that is, diseases that can be directly transferred from animals to humans, such as intestinal parasites, leptospirosis, rabies and tick-borne diseases. Fortunately, there are some things we can and should do to protect our pets and our human family members from these diseases. Pets can be protected from many diseases by vaccinations and year-round prevention.Intestinal parasites can be transmitted through contaminated soil and fecal matter. To protect your pets, they should be on year-round parasite protection such as Interceptor and Revolution. You should also have your pet's stool sample checked at least twice a year to make sure that they aren’t infected and shedding parasites. And humans should wash their hands after gardening or playing outside.
Heartworm disease effects both dogs and cats. It is a deadly disease, transmitted by a mosquito, but can be prevented by putting your dog or cat on a year-round preventative such as Interceptor or Revolution.
We tailor our recommendations based on each individual pet’s needs. Come in and let us evaluate your pet. Call for an appointment today!
