Parasite Prevention

Fleas and ticks are not just irritating to your pet; they can cause allergic reactions or more serious disease. The wide range of flea and tick products can make the task of choosing the right one for your pet difficult, and some animals may have health issues that make one type riskier than another. Your veterinarian can walk you through each method to determine the right one to keep these tiny bugs off of your pets and out of your home.

Heartworms are internal parasites that live in the heart, lungs and associated blood vessels of dogs, cats, and ferrets, often causing severe lung disease, heart failure and damage to other organs in the body. When this occurs you need to find deworming in Crete as soon as possible. Plum Creek Regional Animal Medical Center offers heartworm testing and medications to prevent heartworm disease.
