Just thinking of your pet being infested and covered with parasites is a disturbing thought, right? But did you know that it is also a medical issue which can lead to some serious consequences if it's not dealt with properly? Do you know how to prevent it? Parasites pose a variety of health issues for your pets. Pets are susceptible to certain parasites depending on their age, region they live in, and life style.

The Veterinarian team here at Murrayville Animal Hospital emphasize the importance of preventing parasites. We are prepared to train you through preventative measures, thus allowing you to successfully protect your pet. But the pets that are not protected often develop parasites, leading to serious health issues and problems for them and their owners.

The cost of prevention is minimal compared to the cost you spend on treatment, which can be expensive and not to mention very stressful for your pet. Parasites like heartworm can be fatal causing the death of our pet, so preventing parasites is very important. You can contact us to discuss preventative measures and we will be glad to help you out.
