Parasite Prevention Information?
How frequently should I administer parasite prevention treatments?
Parasite prevention treatments should be administered once a month when the temperature is 4 degrees Celsius or higher. This typically spans from the beginning of spring to the start of winter. However, if you reside in a heavily wooded area or your pets spend considerable time outdoors, it’s advisable to maintain year-round parasite prevention for their safety and well-being.
Why should I give my dog monthly parasite prevention?
You might be wondering why broad-spectrum prevention is essential. Broad-spectrum protection encompasses defence against Ticks, Fleas, Heartworms, and Internal Parasites like Roundworms and Hookworms.
👀 Just because you can’t see them doesn’t mean they aren’t there 👀
Many parasites are tiny and hard to see.
When the weather is 4 degrees Celsius or higher, your pet becomes vulnerable to Heartworms (from mosquito bites), Fleas, Ticks, and Internal Parasites such as roundworms and hookworms.
This susceptibility could lead to various health issues, including Heartworm disease, Lyme disease, Ehrlichia canis, Ehrlichia ewingii, Anaplasma phagocytophilum, Anaplasma platys, flea infestations, and parasite infections, among others.
