Parasite Prevention


Parasite management for your companion animal can reduce the risks associated with parasitic diseases. Controlling the risk of infection to your pet can reduce the risk of transmission to you and your family. Did you know that some parasites can be transmitted to humans? Our veterinarians and staff strongly encourage following the recommendations set forth by the Companion Animal Parasite Council (CAPC). This organization was established to create guidelines for the optimal control of internal and external parasites that threaten the health of pets and people.
