Parasites can cause a range of health issues in your pet, from mild discomfort to severe illnesses. We offer comprehensive parasite prevention to ensure your pet enjoys a happy and healthy life. Here’s what we provide.

Flea and Tick Prevention

Fleas and ticks are not just nuisances; they can transmit diseases and cause discomfort for your pet. We offer a variety of options for flea prevention in Norman, including topical treatments, collars, and oral medications tailored to your pet’s needs.

Heartworm Prevention

Heartworms are transmitted through mosquito bites and can lead to severe heart and lung disease in pets. We have a range of preventive measures, including monthly chewable tablets, to keep your pet safe.

Intestinal Parasite Control

Roundworms, hookworms, and other intestinal parasites can harm your pet and even pose risks to your family. Our regular deworming protocols and preventive medications ensure your pet remains parasite-free.

Every pet is unique, so we create personalized prevention plans based on factors such as your pet’s age, lifestyle, and potential exposure risks.
