Immunizations are an important facet of pet wellness care and can prevent serious illnesses that affect dogs and cats, as well as people. Vaccines are prepared from dead or altered microorganisms administered into the body to trigger the immune system to react to the invader.

Parasite Control

Parasites, whether internal or external, are the organisms that feed on your pet, and deprive her of vital nutrients. They can also cause serious damage to her organs and systems, which can lead to a variety of unpleasant symptoms. In extreme instances (such as heartworms), some of these parasites can cause death. While many people assume that parasites are a necessary part of being a pet's parent, this does not necessarily have to be the situation. Our veterinary team knows the most prevalent parasites in your area and will explain how they affect your pet.

Responsible pet parasite management can reduce the risk of spreading disease to humans and pets living in the home. This means regularly administering preventative treatment for ticks and fleas year-round, using the tick collar as often as possible and grooming your pet often, particularly after she has been outside. Checking her coat for indications of an infestation like scratching, chewing, and licking will also help ensure she is not afflicted by these irritants.

Internal parasites such as roundworms and tapeworms are usually acquired accidentally through the ingesting of parasite eggs discovered in areas that are contaminated by excrement from animals suffering from infection. These parasites can also be considered zoonotic. This means they can be transmitted from pets to humans (and the reverse).

Ectoparasites, such as ticks and fleas are most likely to be present in urban settings with high population of pets, but they can infest homes in all locations. The fleas can trigger severe allergic reactions in pets and also transmit vector-borne diseases like cat scratch disease (Bartonella), Lyme disease, Ehrlichia, and Rocky Mountain spotted fever. Ticks are also a concern. They can trigger allergic reactions, cause itching, cause discomfort in pets, and can transmit vector-borne diseases such as Lyme disease to humans.

At a minimum all shelter pets must receive a basic internal as well as external parasite control protocol at time of intake. This should include a preventative treatment that includes an oral dewormer that is effective against hookworms, roundworms, and ticks and fleas (Nemex or Strongid is the most commonly used drug).
