When to Consider Pet Parasite Prevention and Control
Year-Round Protection
Parasites can be active year-round, and preventive measures should be implemented consistently. Even during colder months, certain parasites can pose a threat. Our services ensure your pet receives year-round protection.
New Pet Additions
When introducing a new pet to your household, it’s essential to initiate parasite prevention promptly. This prevents the spread of parasites and protects both existing and new pets.
Outdoor Activities
Pets that spend time outdoors are at a higher risk of encountering parasites. If your pet enjoys outdoor activities, preventive measures become crucial to mitigate the risk of infestations.
