Why Parasite Prevention Matters in Reno
Our region poses unique risks for pets, including seasonal and year-round parasites that can cause serious illness.
- Fleas can trigger severe skin irritation, allergies, and tapeworms
- Ticks carry Lyme disease and other tick-borne illnesses
- Heartworms are life-threatening and transmitted by mosquitoes
- Intestinal parasites like roundworms and hookworms can affect both pets and people
Prevention is simpler, safer, and more affordable than treatment — and protects the whole family from zoonotic (transmissible) conditions.
Annual Testing: A Crucial Part of the Plan
Preventive medication is key, but regular parasite testing is just as important. We recommend:
- Annual heartworm testing for all dogs
- Routine fecal exams for dogs and cats
- Screening for tick-borne diseases when appropriate
These tests help ensure your prevention plan is working — and catch any silent infections before they become serious.
