Fleas, ticks, heartworms, and intestinal parasites can affect not only the health of your pet and your family. Comprehensive parasite control programs are available year-round at our Mississauga veterinary clinic, Stanfield Veterinary Hospital. With proper prevention and early detection, we can help keep your pet healthy, comfortable, and parasite-free!
Parasites can range from slightly annoying to potentially deadly for dogs and cats alike. Fleas can cause skin allergies and carry tapeworms, ticks can transmit Lyme disease, and heartworms can cause heart failure if left untreated. Intestinal parasites — roundworms and hookworms, for example — are another potential hazard, especially for families with young kids.
Regular parasite prevention is an important part of responsible pet ownership. At our Mississauga veterinary clinic, we recommend the type of parasite control based on your pet’s age and health status and the lifestyle you lead together.
We offer a variety of prevention, testing, and treatment options, including:
This ensures your furry friend receives the best care and adequate protection.
With changing climate conditions, parasites are a year-round threat. The risk exists outside (and even inside) for indoor pets, so our Mississauga Veterinary Hospital recommends continual prevention for all pets. We’ll discuss parasite control options with you during your pet’s wellness exam and ensure your pet is up to date with their treatment plan.
At Stanfield Veterinary Hospital, we consider ourselves part of your family. That’s why we are 100% committed to your happiness and the well being of your pet.
