🐾 Flea, Tick & Heartworm Season is Here! 🦟🕷️❤️
As the weather warms up, fleas, ticks, and mosquitoes become much more active — which means your pets are at greater risk for parasites and the diseases they can carry.
Why prevention matters:
🔹 Fleas can cause itching, skin irritation, allergies, and infest your home
🔹 Ticks can transmit serious blood-borne diseases, including Lyme disease
🔹 Heartworm is spread by mosquitoes and can cause severe damage to the heart and lungs
✅ Safe, effective monthly prevention is available for both dogs and cats
✅ Some medications protect against fleas, ticks, AND heartworm all in one
✅ Prevention is far easier (and less costly) than treatment
If your pet is not currently on parasite prevention, now is a great time to get them protected!
📞 Contact Animal Hospital of Kitchener Waterloo or call (519) 742-9600 to discuss the best option for your pet.
