Types of Pet Parasites

Your pet may become infected by parasites. An infestation can happen at any age and at any time of the year. Fleas and ticks are two common external parasites that pets must deal with throughout their life. Internal parasites that affect a pet's health include pests like hookworms, ear mites, tapeworms, heartworms, and more. Not only is a parasite infestation uncomfortable for your pet, but it can also impact your pet’s health. In some cases, a parasite may affect you and your family's health as well. Consistent parasite prevention for your pet will help promote a healthy household for everyone.
