Parasite Control

Worms, Fleas & Ticks

Regularly treating your pet for parasites is an easy way to keep them healthy!

There are many safe options for controlling parasites causing issues in your pet. Various treatments are available and can be purchased from Kingsgrove Animal Hospital directly or in pet stores. In cats and dogs, we primarily focus on preventing Fleas, Ticks, Heartworm and various Intestinal Parasites. And we as owners are not necessarily immune to these parasites as they can occasionally cause health issues for us as well (roundworms, fleas etc).

Some preventative treatments we sell and recommend include:

Monthly:

  • Nexgard Spectra (fleas, ticks, heartworm, intestinal worms)
  • Nexgard (fleas, ticks)
  • Advocate (fleas, heartworm, intestinal worms)
  • Milbemax (heartworm, intestinal worms)

Quarterly (3-monthly):

  • Bravecto (fleas, ticks)
  • Fenpral (intestinal worms)
  • Popantel (tapeworm)

Annually:

  • Proheart SR12 (heartworm)

 

Please contact us to discuss any preventative treatments and we can guide you in what is required to cover your pet from these parasites.
