Preventions

Flea and Tick Prevention

Fleas and ticks are some of the most common parasites that affect pets. They can cause itching, and irritation, and even transmit diseases such as Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain spotted fever. At The Falls Animal Clinic, we offer a variety of flea and tick prevention options, including topical treatments, collars, and oral medications. We will work with you to determine the best option for your pet’s specific needs.

Heartworm Prevention

Heartworm disease is a serious and potentially life-threatening disease that is transmitted by mosquitoes. Prevention is key to keeping your pet healthy and free from heartworms. At The Falls Animal Clinic, we offer heartworm prevention options, including monthly oral medications and injections. We also recommend annual heartworm testing to ensure that your pet is free from heartworms.

Intestinal Parasite Prevention

Intestinal parasites such as roundworms, hookworms, and tapeworms can cause serious health problems for your pets. These parasites can be transmitted through contaminated soil or feces or even passed from mother to offspring. At The Falls Animal Clinic, we offer fecal exams to check for the presence of intestinal parasites, and we can provide treatments to eliminate them.
