Parasites are organisms that feed on or within animals. Fleas, ticks, and lice are the most well-known, but there are many others that you may not be aware of. Edmonton is a big city with a lot of greenery so parasites can be found in many places. The best parasite prevention is regular treatment with an anti-parasitic, which can be tailored to you and your pet’s lifestyle.
If you suspect that your pet has parasites, it is best to book an appointment with a veterinarian and begin and continue regular treatment.
