Intestinal Parasite Control
Intestinal parasites (worms) are a very common problem among dogs. Almost all puppies and kittens are already infected with roundworms when still in uterus, or get the infection immediately after birth, through their mother’s milk (roundworm, hookworm). Moreover, dogs and cats of all ages are continuously exposed to potentially harmful parasites through mosquito bites, which can transmit heartworm infection. Soil contaminated by infective worm eggs or larvae in the backyard or parks is a common way to pick up intestinal parasites. Though some of these parasites are very dangerous, they can be easily controlled and disease from the most common can be prevented
We recommend to test a fecal (poop) sample at least annually to protect your pet and your family. We also recommend that your pet be placed on a monthly medication such as Interceptor to prevent intestinal parasites.
