Spring Parasites: Simple Steps to Keep Your Pet Safe

As the days get warmer and longer, spring brings more time outdoors for both pets and their families. Unfortunately, it also brings an increase in parasites that can affect your pet’s health and comfort.

Fleas and ticks thrive in warmer weather. These tiny pests can cause skin irritation, allergies, and in some cases, transmit serious diseases. Even indoor pets are not immune since parasites can hitch a ride into your home.

Mosquitoes also become more active in spring, and with them comes the risk of heartworm. A single bite from an infected mosquito can pass on this potentially life-threatening disease to your dog or cat.

Intestinal worms such as roundworms, hookworms, and whipworms are more easily spread in the warmer months. Pets can pick them up from contaminated soil, other animals, or even through routine outdoor play.

How can you protect your pet

Prevention is far easier than treatment. Regular parasite control, vaccinations, and check-ups help keep your pet healthy year-round. At Goodna Vet, we can tailor a parasite prevention plan that suits your pet’s lifestyle and needs, giving you peace of mind during the busy spring season.

Why prevention matters

Parasites don’t just cause discomfort. Left untreated, they can lead to serious long-term health issues, expensive treatments, and in some cases, life-threatening complications. By acting early, you’re protecting your pet’s wellbeing and ensuring they can enjoy spring safely by your side.
