Those little bugs that we can barely see can create big issues when it comes to your older cat’s health. That’s why we always suggest parasite prevention from the start. Besides the usual fleas and ticks that can cause issues, an infected mosquito can give your pet heartworm–which is untreatable in cats. When you visit us for the first time with your new fur baby, we can do a heartworm test to make sure they’re heartworm free, and then we’ll prescribe a year’s worth of preventatives to keep your kitty safe.
Flea & tick prevention is of the utmost importance, too, as bites from these bugs can cause disease and infection that are chronic and expensive.
