Preventive Pet Care and Treatments
The best offense is often a good defense – protect your pets with flea, tick, and
heartworm prevention
from Clarksville Animal Hospital. We’ll examine your pet, taking into account their breed, age, and health to recommend affordable treatments that keep them healthy.
Flea Prevention & Control
Fleas can infest a variety of pets, including dogs, cats, ferrets, rodents, and more – if they have hair, they’re vulnerable to fleas, and fleas can bite and infest people, too. Fleas don’t just cause itching either, as they can spread other parasites and disease. Don’t let these pests irritate you or your pets.
Whether your pet already has fleas, or you’re looking to keep them free of fleas, Clarksville Animal Hospital can help.
Heartworm Treatments & Prevention
Heartworms can infect both cats and dogs and can cause fatal complications in both. Typically transmitted by mosquitoes, heartworms often manifest as difficulty breathing and have early symptoms that mimic allergies. The best way to know is to get your pet tested regularly and put them on a monthly heartworm preventive.
Our staff can test your pet for heartworms in minutes, and we tailor treatments and preventives for each animal. Most treatments also help to ward off other parasites and worms that could harm your pet.
Tick Prevention and Treatment
Like fleas, most pets and animals are vulnerable to ticks. Ticks can attach themselves to all types of pets, not just the furry ones, and often spread disease as they feed on your pet’s blood. Because of the variety of diseases they can carry, any number of symptoms can be a result of ticks. It is important to have them checked for ticks with every visit to our office.
Clarksville Animal Hospital will prescribe a preventive medicine for your pet and can help to diagnose and treat tickborne illnesses.
