Why Is Parasite Prevention So Important?
Parasites can impact pets both internally and externally. Some, like fleas and ticks, cause skin irritation or allergic reactions. Others, like heartworms and intestinal parasites, can lead to serious illness — or even death — if left untreated.
Many parasites also pose a zoonotic risk, meaning they can be transmitted from pets to humans. Proactive prevention is key to keeping your entire household safe.

Our Approach to Parasite Control
We offer tailored parasite prevention plans based on your pet’s age, lifestyle, health history, and risk factors. Options include monthly topical or oral preventatives, annual testing, and ongoing monitoring.
We also provide in-house diagnostic testing to detect parasites early and treat them effectively.
Seasonal or Year-Round Protection?
In Michigan, we recommend year-round protection due to fluctuating temperatures and parasite behavior. Fleas and ticks can survive well into the fall and reemerge quickly in spring. Heartworm disease is a particular concern during the warmer months, but prevention should never be allowed to lapse.
