Dangers of Parasites
- Dangerous parasites
Can cause serious illness and even death
- Ticks
Can transmit Lyme disease, and fleas can transmit tapeworms
- Bartonella
A serious bacteria that can affect pet parents by causing cat-scratch fever.
- Heartworm
Transmitted by mosquitoes can cause significant damage to the pet’s lungs and heart and can even cause death
- Roundworms and Hookworms
Can affect gut health and can be transmitted to humans as well
It is important to note that you might not be able to identify the fact that your pet has parasites because fleas and ticks tend to get hidden under the pet’s fur, and some ticks are so small they are very difficult to see. Regular pet parasite testing is vital to protect the health of your pet and yourself.
Why Parasite Prevention Matters
