Spring Parasite Alert: What Your Pet Needs Now

Spring is a season of sunshine, fresh air, and more time outdoors with your pets. But as the weather warms up, parasites also become more active, putting your pet at greater risk. Knowing what to watch out for and how to protect your furry friend is the key to keeping them safe and comfortable.

The most common spring parasites

• Fleas and ticks thrive in warm weather and can cause itchy skin, allergies, and even transmit diseases.

• Mosquitoes carry heartworm, a potentially life-threatening disease that affects both dogs and cats.

• Intestinal worms such as roundworms, hookworms, and whipworms are easily spread during the warmer months and can lead to serious health issues if untreated.

  
  

Why prevention matters

Parasites are more than just a nuisance. Left unchecked, they can cause long-term health problems, expensive treatments, and in some cases, life-threatening illness. Prevention is far simpler, safer, and more cost-effective than treating an infestation or disease after it has developed.
