The idea of your pet being infested with parasites is unsettling, but it’s also a medical concern that can lead to serious health issues if not properly addressed. Parasites pose various health risks to pets, which can be especially vulnerable to certain types based on factors like age, location, and lifestyle.
At Summer Hills Veterinary Hospital, we emphasize the importance of parasite prevention to keep your pet healthy and comfortable. We offer a comprehensive range of options, including heartworm tests, dewormers for hookworms and roundworms (such as liquid pyrantel), and combination dewormers like Drontal tablets for cats and Drontal Plus tablets for dogs. For tapeworm treatment, we provide injectable medications such as praziquantel.
We also carry a variety of monthly preventatives, including flea and tick medications like Bravecto, available in a 90-day dosage form, and Simparica Trio, which offers heartworm, flea, and tick prevention in one convenient monthly dose. Additionally, we offer Heartgard Plus for monthly heartworm and flea prevention, and ProHeart, a yearly injectable for long-lasting heartworm prevention.
We also offer deals year-round to help make prevention more affordable. Our most recent deal included a free heartworm test with the purchase of a year’s worth of heartworm prevention, saving clients $60.
