Fleas

Fleas are the number one cause of skin disease in pets and can cause problems ranging from simple itchiness to weeping sores, scaly skin and infection. Some animals are allergic to flea bites (a condition known as flea allergy dermatitis), where one bite sets off an auto-immune reaction.
Flea control comes in an oral or topical (spot on) form, which are mostly monthly treatments. Did you know fleas can jump up to 150 times their own body length, making the transfer of fleas between pets difficult to prevent, their remarkable jumping skills also allow them to transit easily from surrounding environments.

 Intestinal worms

There are a number of different intestinal worms that can affect your dog or cat, including roundworm, hookworm, tape worm and whipworm. Intestinal parasites can not only affect your puppy’s health but the
can be transferred to you!
Your puppy should be treated for intestinal worms every 2 weeks until they are 12 weeks of age, then every month until they are 6 months of age, from there they should be treated every 3 months for the rest of their lives.
It is important to note that some flea treats also treat for intestinal worms but they do not cover for tape worms.
Heartworm: We are very lucky in this part of Australia as we do not see heartworm, it is typically seen it is transmitted by mosquito bites and without treatment can be fatal.
Monthly and yearly treatments exist for heartworm, so if you are planning on travelling we highly recommend you add a heartworm treatment into your prevention regime.
