Pet Parasite Prevention in The Dalles, OR
Keeping your pet healthy and safe requires more than routine checkups. Parasite prevention is an essential part of their overall well-being.
Why Pet Parasite Prevention Matters
Parasites can threaten your pet’s health and comfort. Beyond irritating, parasites may lead to severe health issues such as anemia, skin infections, or even organ damage. Some parasites, like ticks and heartworms, can be life-threatening if left untreated.
Preventive care not only shields your pet but also safeguards your family and community from zoonotic diseases that can spread from animals to humans. Regular screenings and preventive treatments can stop infestations before they become a problem, ensuring your pet remains healthy year-round.
