Parasite Prevention
The protection the need, for a lifetime by your side.
A key component of preventative care is keeping your pet parasite-free. At Juanita Hills Animal Hospital, we develop programs for the specific needs of your pet based on their lifestyle and environment.
Safety from Unseen Threats
With all the moisture and lack of extreme weather, the Pacific Northwest is a great breeding ground for parasites, including fleas, ticks, and intestinal worms.
Heartworm Prevention, Testing, and Treatment
Intestinal worms are likewise dangerous, particularly to puppies and kittens. Deworming treatments are crucial early in a pet’s life, and after that, preventatives like Interceptor provide excellent and reliable protection against such pests.
Heartworm is another – and even graver – threat. Mosquitos can transmit the deadly worms to pets through just one bite. Sadly, many animals don’t show symptoms until the disease is advanced, if at all. While there is treatment for canines, it is expensive and can be very hard on your pet. (There is no heartworm cure for cats.)
Year-Round Protection
At Juanita Hills Animal Hospital, we understand that year-round prevention is the only guarantee your pet won’t suffer an uncomfortable – or even life-threatening – infestation. That’s why we carry many different types of flea, tick, and heartworm preventives in our clinic.
