Parasite Control

No matter if they are of the internal or external variety, parasites are organisms that feed on your pet, robbing her of vital nutrients.

Our veterinary team is knowledgeable about the different types of parasites you should look for in your area and can help you understand how these bugs can affect your pet and what can be done to combat them.

These parasites are also considered zoonotic. This means that they can be transmitted from animals to humans (and the reverse).

Fleas and ticks can infest any home, even in urban areas with a high number of pets.
