Parasites are a common and dangerous threat to your pet's health. Here in Ohio, fleas, ticks, and mosquitoes are abundant. These pests can cause much more than superficial skin lesions. These common nuisances, and other sources like standing water, can carry other parasites and diseases that can cause serious health problems, and even death.
To make matters worse, many of these parasites and diseases can also be transferred from your pet to your children and family members. These zoonotic diseases can threaten the health of your family members.
The good news is that these threats are both preventable and treatable. Bringing your pet in for regular six-month wellness examinations is the first and best step you can take to protect your pets and family. Vaccinations are available for many of these threats, and simple preventive measures can provide a good line of defense as well.
