The Importance of Parasite Prevention

Parasite prevention is a very important part of your pet’s health and wellness. Here in the Okanagan, our main area of concern is ticks. Our canine and feline companion’s warm body and soft fur is a personal paradise for these insects. Once they move in and begin feeding on your pet’s blood they can cause a wide range of health problems, from skin infections to tick paralysis and Lyme disease.

Ticks are active in the early spring. Pet owners should be aware that tick control in the spring is important even though it might feel too cold for parasites to be out. “Questing” is the term used to describe when a tick is looking for a host, like a dog, cat or person, to feed on. Adult black-legged ticks begin questing when the temperature reaches 4℃ or higher, though studies exist which demonstrate activity can occur even at temperatures lower than this.

We carry a range of products that are safe and veterinary approved for cats and dogs that will protect them from not only ticks but also fleas, mites, mange, heartworm and many other parasites.

Give us a call or stop by the clinic to discuss what the best option would be for your pet and lifestyle.

By three years of age, most dogs and cats have some level of periodontal disease. Not always apparent to pet owners, periodontal disease can cause oral pain, infection, inflammation, and other health problems, decreasing the quality of life for these pets. After a proper dental procedure, many pet owners report the emergence of a “whole new pet” – one who is happier and more active. Call us to book your pet a FREE focused dental exam (through the month of February) !! 250-768-6787
