Parasite &
Tick Prevention
Topeka

Parasites are tiny creatures that live off the host animal and can cause various health problems for your pet. These parasites can be found in the environment, food, and water and can even be transmitted from other animals. If left untreated, they can cause serious illness, infections, and even death in pets. Our animal clinic offers all types of parasite treatments including heartworm and tick prevention in Topeka.

One of the most common parasites that affect pets is fleas. Fleas can infest your pet’s fur, causing itching and discomfort. If not treated, fleas can also cause skin infections and even anemia in severe cases. Ticks are another common parasite that can cause serious health problems in pets. Ticks can transmit Lyme disease and other tick-borne illnesses that can make your pet very sick.

Another common parasite that affects pets is heartworms. Heartworms are transmitted by mosquitoes and can cause serious health problems, including heart failure, lung disease, and even death. Heartworm disease is a serious and life-threatening condition, and early treatment is essential for the health of your pet.

At Westport Animal Clinic, we understand the importance of protecting your pet from parasites. Our veterinarians will work with you to create a parasite prevention plan tailored to your pet’s specific needs. This may include regular flea and tick treatments, heartworm preventatives, and regular stool tests to check for internal parasites.
