🪳 Why Parasite Prevention Is a Must

• Fleas can cause anemia, allergies, and infections
• Ticks transmit Lyme disease, ehrlichiosis, and more
• Intestinal worms lead to malnutrition, vomiting, and weight loss
• Heartworms (via mosquitoes) can be fatal if untreated

Your pet doesn’t have to go outside to be at risk — parasites can hitch a ride on shoes, other animals, or even humans.

🐾 Common Types of Pet Parasites

• 🪰 Fleas
• 🕷️ Ticks
• 🐛 Roundworms, hookworms, whipworms, tapeworms
• 🦟 Heartworms
• 🦠 Mites (causing mange)

Each has its own dangers, and many are hard to detect early without vet screening.

💊 Preventive Treatments That Work

• Monthly topical or oral flea & tick medication
• Quarterly deworming for dogs & cats
• Annual heartworm testing and prevention
• Routine fecal exams to detect hidden infections

We only recommend products that are vet-approved, safe, and tested for your pet’s age and weight.

🌎 Parasites in Border Areas: Extra Risk

Tijuana’s warm, coastal climate means fleas, ticks, and mosquitoes are active year-round. If you travel between Mexico and the U.S., your pet’s exposure risk increases — making consistent protection even more important.

✅ Conclusion: Don’t Let Parasites Win

Your pet depends on you to keep them healthy — and parasites won’t go away on their own. Fleas multiply fast. Ticks spread disease. Worms drain strength silently. But the good news? Prevention is easy when you have the right partner.
