Did you know parasites like fleas and worms can cause more than just itching?
They can lead to tummy troubles, sore skin, and can even spread to other pets in the home!
Keeping up with your pet’s parasite treatment is the simplest way to keep the whole family protected.

Ticks can be as small as a sesame seed but can carry dangerous diseases, like Lyme disease, which affects both pets and humans. Tick bites often go unnoticed until symptoms appear.
🌿 Warmer weather means the start of tick season. Check your pets regularly and speak to us about tick prevention.
Cats can get roundworm and tapeworm by accidentally eating their eggs, and it’s important to take preventative treatment by giving them a regular wormer.
Symptoms of worms include:
🐈 Weight loss
🐈 Eating more
🐈 Diarrhoea
🐈 Tapeworm segments (which look like grains of rice) in your cat’s poo
If you have any concerns or questions about worming your cat, get in touch.
