Parasite Prevention In Riverview, Florida

Cats and dogs are susceptible to a number of parasitic infections, several of which are zoonotic (possess the ability to infect people as well as animals). Parasite prevention is not only important for the health of your pet but also for the health of your family.

Fleas and ticks are easy to prevent, and our team at Big Bend Animal Hospital can help. All of our products are medically approved, safe, and guaranteed to help protect your family. We serve clients and their pets throughout Ruskin, Sun City, Appollo Beach, and the surrounding areas.

Where & When Can Pets Get Fleas & Ticks?

Dogs and cats can get fleas and ticks in a variety of places whether they go outside or not. Other animals (or even humans) can bring fleas and ticks into your home. Plus, anytime your pet is outside, they are at risk. Wildlife such as squirrels, rabbits, and raccoons all carry fleas and ticks. Fleas and ticks can live outside year-round but the worst months are spring and fall.
