Why Parasite Prevention Matters

Parasites can cause various health problems, from mild skin irritation to severe illnesses. Some parasites, like heartworms, can be life-threatening if left untreated. Others, such as fleas and ticks, can spread diseases to pets and humans. Preventative care is the best way to avoid costly treatments and long-term health complications.
