We proudly offer a vast assortment of sprays, collars, pills, drops, and supplies to help prevent both external and internal parasites.

The High Price of Skipping Flea & Tick Prevention

Fleas and ticks can cause several external and internal complications for pets. Fleas can cause tapeworms, hot spots, dermatitis, allergic reactions, and skin inflammation to name a few. Fleas also tend to quickly fester in homes and they are extremely hard to eradicate.

Ticks can cause Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, and Lyme disease, which are all serious conditions that can be life threatening. Lyme disease is easily transmitted from animal to animal and human to human. Our vet helps prevent all these with the ideal pet preventives.
