Tick prevention is extremely important, particularly if you are travelling to the coast this summer. Ticks are tiny parasites that can latch on to your pet and make them extremely unwell. Paralysis ticks can latch on and inject a potent toxin into the blood stream causing damage to the connection between nerves and muscles. This causes paralysis and can be fatal. Ticks travel too, so it is best to have your pet on tick prevention in Canberra all year round.
We now offer year round prevention for paralysis ticks and fleas in one annual injection.
Contact us to discuss your parasite prevention plan for the coming year.
