Parasites are not just a nuisance. They can carry serious diseases that affect your pet's overall health and longevity. ..Read more.

There was a time when parasites like fleas, ticks, and intestinal were considered mostly a nuisance. Now, we know that parasites can cause serious illness and even death in pets. For example, ticks can transmit infections like Lyme disease, and fleas can transmit tapeworms and Bartonella - the bacteria that causes "cat-scratch fever" in humans. Another parasite is the heartworm, which is transmitted by mosquitoes. Heartworms live in your pet's lungs and heart, causing damage to these organs, and can lead to death. Fleas can hide under your pet's fur, and some ticks are very tiny (only the size of a pinhead), so they are very difficult to find. Intestinal parasites like roundworms can cause diarrhea and other problems, but many infected pets don't show any signs of illness at all.  Some intestinal parasites are considered zoonotic, which means that people can get them from their pets.
