Warm weather means parasites are out in full force! Fleas, ticks, heartworms, and intestinal parasites can all pose a risk to your pets health!
Recent research has identified the presence of Echinococcus multilocularis, a parasitic tapeworm carried primarily by coyotes, foxes, and other wild canids, in Washington State. As wildlife and pets share more of the same environment, protecting your dog from parasites has never been more important.
That’s why we now recommend switching your dogs from Simparica Trio to Credelio Quattro, which provides protection against fleas, ticks, heartworms, intestinal parasites INCLUDING tapeworms. For our feline friends, Revolution Plus and Bravecto Plus remain excellent options for broad-spectrum parasite prevention.
Monthly prevention is one of the simplest and most effective ways to keep your pets healthy year-round. Give us a call to refill or discuss the best parasite prevention plan for your pet!
