In honor of August being Itchy Pet Awareness Month, let's discuss some of the flea, tick, and heartworm prevention we carry here at Corvallis Veterinary Hospital and why it's important!

According to the American Veterinary Medical Association, both fleas and ticks pose a health risk to not only our four-legged friends but humans as well. These blood-sucking bugs can transmit zoonotic diseases such as Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain fever. For heartworms, the American Heartworm Society asserts that mosquitoes can transmit heartworms, necessitating year-round prevention treatments for pets due to their ability to damage important organs in the body. Prevention is an important key to help keep your pet(s) safe from nasty pests. Other factors that can help minimize interaction are making sure your pet has clean bedding, vacuuming carpets or other materials alike, and keeping your pet bathed and groomed, especially after outings in tall grass or wooded areas.

What prevention do we carry?

For dogs:

**Simparica Trio—a once-monthly chewable tablet used to help prevent fleas, ticks, heartworms, roundworms, and hookworms.
*Nexgard—a once-monthly chewable tablet used to help prevent fleas and ticks.
**Heartgard Plus—a once-monthly chewable tablet used to help prevent heartworms, hookworms, and roundworms.
Vectra 3D—a once-monthly topical solution used to help prevent fleas, ticks, mites, mosquitoes, and biting flies.

For cats:

*Nexgard Combo—a once-monthly topical solution used to help prevent fleas, ticks, heartworms, roundworms, tapeworms, and hookworms.
*Bravecto Plus—a once-every-two-month topical solution used to help prevent fleas, ticks, heartworms, roundworms, and hookworms.
Catego—a once-monthly topical solution used to help prevent fleas, ticks, and lice.

Notes:

* Prescription prevention which requires an up to date examination.
** Prescription prevention which requires an up to date examination as well as an up to date heartworm test.

Give us a call at 541-752-5595, shoot us an OTTO message, or stop in to get the prevention your furry friend needs!

August is Itchy Pet Awareness Month!

We all hate that annoying itch and so does your pet...While some scratches and a face drag across your nice white carpet might do the trick for some pets, others find themselves never being able to soothe that itch!

There are many reasons why our furry friends can be itchy...Some are more complicated than others. Getting the right flea treatment, diet, and/or medication may just help provide relief for your pet. If you think your pet is experiencing constant itching give us a call at 541-752-5595 to set up an appointment!
