In Arizona's unique environment, where warm temperatures prevail, parasites like fleas, ticks, and heartworms are a year-round threat to your pet's health. At PetSmart Veterinary Services, we specialize in comprehensive parasite prevention strategies tailored to Arizona's specific conditions, ensuring your pets stay healthy and parasite-free.
Customized Prevention Plans: We understand that each pet's exposure and risk level can vary. Our team provides customized prevention plans based on your pet's lifestyle, whether they're indoor pets, outdoor adventurers, or both.
Flea and Tick Prevention: Fleas and ticks are not just a nuisance; they can transmit diseases to pets and humans. We offer topicals, oral medications, designed to repel and kill these parasites before they can harm your pet.
Heartworm Prevention: Transmitted by mosquitoes, which thrive in Arizona's climate, heartworm disease can be fatal if left untreated. We provide heartworm testing and recommend year-round prevention to protect your pet from this deadly disease.
Intestinal Parasite Control: Intestinal parasites like roundworms, hookworms, and giardia are common in pets and can cause serious health issues. Regular fecal exams and appropriate deworming treatments are key to keeping these parasites at bay.
Health and Comfort: Parasites can cause discomfort and lead to significant health issues, including skin infections, anemia, and in severe cases, death.
Public Health: Some parasites can be transmitted to humans, making prevention a critical component of public health, especially in family homes.
Year-Round Threat: Arizona's climate allows parasites to thrive year-round, making continuous prevention essential for your pet's health.
