Parasite Control

Protecting your pet from parasites is an essential aspect of responsible pet ownership. Parasites not only cause discomfort and illness in pets but can also pose a risk to human health. At Acacia Veterinary Clinic, we offer comprehensive parasite control solutions to keep your furry companion and your family safe.

External Parasites

1. Fleas: Fleas are common external parasites that can infest dogs and cats, leading to itching, skin irritation, and even allergic reactions. Our clinic provides a range of flea prevention products, including topical treatments, oral medications, and collars, to effectively control flea infestations and prevent reinfestation.

2. Ticks: Ticks are blood-feeding parasites that can transmit serious diseases, such as Lyme disease, ehrlichiosis, and anaplasmosis, to both pets and humans. We offer tick prevention products that repel and kill ticks, reducing the risk of tick-borne illnesses.

3. Mosquitoes: Mosquitoes not only cause irritation with their bites but also transmit heartworm disease, a potentially life-threatening condition in dogs and cats. Our clinic recommends regular administration of heartworm preventives to protect pets from heartworm infection.

4. Mites: Ear mites, sarcoptic mange mites, and demodectic mange mites are common parasites that can affect pets' ears and skin, causing itching, inflammation, and secondary infections. Our veterinarians can diagnose and treat mite infestations and recommend appropriate preventive measures.

Internal Parasites

In addition to core vaccines, we offer lifestyle vaccines tailored to your pet's unique needs and risk factors:

i. Roundworms, Hookworms, and Whipworms: These intestinal parasites are common in dogs and cats and can cause diarrhea, weight loss, and other gastrointestinal problems. Our clinic offers deworming treatments to eliminate these parasites and prevent reinfection.

ii. Tapeworms: Tapeworms are segmented parasites that inhabit the intestines of dogs and cats, often transmitted through the ingestion of fleas or infected prey animals. We provide effective treatments to eliminate tapeworms and prevent flea infestations.

iii. Heartworms:: Heartworm disease is a serious and potentially fatal condition caused by parasitic worms that live in the heart and blood vessels of infected pets. Our clinic recommends monthly heartworm preventives to protect dogs and cats from heartworm infection.


Prevention is Key

Preventing parasite infestations is easier and more cost-effective than treating them once they occur. Our knowledgeable veterinarians can recommend a customized parasite prevention plan based on your pet's lifestyle, risk factors, and health status.


Regular Preventive Care

In addition to parasite prevention products, we emphasize the importance of regular wellness exams and preventive care to monitor your pet's health and detect any signs of parasitic infections early on. Together, we can ensure your pet remains happy, healthy, and parasite-free
