Parasite Prevention

Fleas, ticks, and worms aren’t just a summer nuisance in Englehart. Our long Northern Ontario seasons still leave plenty of room for parasites to affect your dog or cat, and some of them (like heartworm and certain intestinal worms) can cause serious harm before you notice anything is wrong.

Year-round or seasonal parasite prevention is one of the simplest ways to protect your pet. A regular prevention plan guards against fleas and ticks, reduces the risk of Lyme disease and other tick-borne illnesses, and keeps intestinal worms in check, some of which can also spread to people in the household.

At Englehart Animal Hospital, we build prevention around your pet’s actual life: their age, whether they spend time outdoors or at the cottage, how they interact with other animals, and your family’s routine. During a wellness visit, our team can recommend the right combination of preventives and testing, including annual heartworm and tick-borne disease screening.

If you’re not sure whether your pet is protected, or you’ve noticed scratching, hair loss, or changes in appetite or stool, give us a call. We’re happy to talk through your options and get a plan in place.
