Pet Parasite Protection in San Diego, CA

It’s possible that you can’t always detect if your pet has parasites. Fleas can conceal themselves under your pet’s fur, and some ticks are so small they are just the size of a pinhead, making them incredibly elusive. Roundworms are an example of an intestinal parasite that can cause diarrhea, vomiting, dehydration, and other issues, although some infected pets don’t even show signs of illness or have symptoms.

Allow our skilled staff to offer you a thorough parasite control treatment. We can give you a schedule for parasite testing, go over symptoms of parasites you may look out for at home, go over pest control measures you can take around your house, go over remedies if your pet has parasites, and provide you with advice on how to manage and prevent parasites in the future.

The Dangers of Parasites for Pets

Parasites are detrimental to animals’ health and can cause everything from itchy skin and fur loss to infections, heart and lung damage, weight loss, and more. We provide comprehensive parasite protection services — including annual testing, treatment, and prevention of heartworm, testing and treatment for intestinal parasites, and flea and tick prevention and control.

Fleas, Ticks, and Heartworm: What You Need to Know

Fleas and ticks can host diseases and negatively impact your pet’s health, in addition to irritating your pet. Heartworm is another harmful parasite that can be fatal and dwells in the hearts of dogs and cats. It harms the heart muscle. The good news is that all of these ailments are preventable, and ABC Veterinary Hospital Pacific Beach can assist you in keeping your pet protected.

Fleas are tiny, leaping insects that feed on animal blood. They frequently cause allergic dermatitis, extreme itching in pets, and can spread harmful infections.
