Visit the Vet. The veterinarian is the number one source for pet health so it is important to schedule regular visits to prevent parasites such as mosquitoes, ticks and fleas.
Fight the Bite. Protect pets from the time they are puppies or kittens with products such as Advantage® and K9 AdvantixTM. These keep pets protected from disease-carrying parasites such as mosquitoes, ticks and fleas, and can reduce time and costs associated with environmental control and medical visits for treatments. Advantage is approved for puppies 7 weeks of age and older and kittens 8 weeks of age and older K9 Advantix is approved for puppies 7 weeks of age and older.
Food for Thought. Feed a pet a healthy diet and prevent it from eating raw food, drinking out of the toilet, eating out of the trash or consuming birds and other small animals.
Start on the right foot. Have children wear shoes while playing outside and avoid sitting with bare legs in the dirt.
Spick and Span. Clean a pet’s living area at least once a week. Remove feces, one of the main transmitters of intestinal parasites, from the backyard and clean the litter box at least every other day.
Wash Up. Wash hands with soap and warm water after any direct or indirect contact with animal feces. Bacteria from animal feces can survive in soil and enter through the skin.
Critter Cuisine. Prevent young children from putting dirt, grass or sand into their mouths, especially in public areas including parks and playgrounds.
Best Buy. Before adding a new pet to the family, consult a veterinarian to receive recommendations on shelters or breeders for purchasing a healthy pet.
A Reason for Every Season. Not every city is warm in fall and winter, but protecting pets from parasites is still important. Parasite infestation can happen any season so prevention needs to be a year-round responsibility.
