Start your journey now by finding answers to common questions and browsing valuable resources.
Parasites can cause irritating infestations and serious diseases that can make your pet sick and affect your family’s health (yes, some can be passed on to humans!). Plus, they’re everywhere. A walk in the park or woods may bring your pet in contact with ticks, which spread Lyme and other diseases, or mosquitoes, which spread the potentially deadly heartworm disease.
Mosquitoes ingest heartworm larvae when feeding on an infected animal. These larvae mature within the mosquito and then are spread to any healthy pets bitten by the infected mosquito. Worms grow and lodge in an infected pet’s heart, lungs and pulmonary arteries, where they cause illness—and even death. Some cats may seem perfectly normal until the disease turns fatal, making regular testing very important.
Beyond causing discomfort, fleas and ticks can carry dangerous zoonotic (transmittable to humans) diseases. Fleas can carry tapeworm larvae that your pet can ingest. Ticks may transmit serious diseases such as Lyme disease, ehrlichiosis and Rocky Mountain spotted fever to both you and your pet.
Beyond causing discomfort, fleas and ticks can carry dangerous zoonotic (transmittable to humans) diseases. Fleas can carry tapeworm larvae that your pet can ingest. Ticks may transmit serious diseases, such as cytauxzoonosis to your cat and Lyme disease to you.
