Both external and internal parasites are detrimental to your pet's health. Ticks carry several potentially devastating diseases, and fleas carry tapeworm and the virus that causes cat scratch fever in humans. Hookworms, tapeworms, and roundworms are intestinal parasites that cause many unpleasant symptoms. They're also transmissible to other pets and people. Spread by the bites of infected mosquitos, heartworms damage the heart and lungs and can cause premature death in companion animals, especially dogs.

The symptoms of pet parasites range from fur loss and itchy skin to diarrhea and coughing. However, they sometimes don't cause any symptoms at all until the infestation has caused serious damage. That's why keeping your dog or cat on an effective parasite preventative is so important.

Our parasite treatments at Club Hill Animal Clinic include a range of oral and topical preventatives for your pet's specific weight and needs, ensuring they receive the most effective protection against fleas, ticks, and internal worms like heartworms. Deworming treatments for cats and dogs are also available to combat internal parasites and maintain your companion's internal health. We emphasize the importance of regular pet parasite testing; our clinic conducts thorough fecal examinations and heartworm tests to detect infestations early, allowing for timely treatment. By choosing Club Hill Animal Clinic for your pet's parasite care, you ensure they remain healthy, happy, and safe from parasitic threats year-round.
