External parasites (living on the outside of the body) are not just a nuisance for your pet and your family. These pests carry disease, stimulate allergies and contribute to skin and ear infections. Pets with external parasites tend to be itchy. Some external parasites can be seen with the naked eye (e.g.: fleas, ticks), however, others require a microscope to find. Some common external parasites that infect dogs and cats include: Fleas Ticks Cheyletiellia Lice Ear mites Scabies (or sarcoptic mange) Fortunately, there are many topical medications available to remove and treat these parasites. Some animals require oral medications to clear the infection. Many external parasites can be spread among pets and infest your home. It is important to treat all of the pets in the household and the environment as well. Please follow our detailed instructions for successful therapy. Our new line of products to help prevent external parasites such as fleas & ticks include Parastar Plus (which is comparable to Frontline), Sentinel (comparable to Heartguard Plus), and Vectra 3D (which we believe to be superior to Frontline & Parastar). We also carry Revolution for Cats. Please stop by and check out our new line of products, and talk to one of our Client Relations Specialists (Sharon, Nicky, or Jackie) if you have any questions about our new products. *You can try out a free dose of the Vectra3D by visiting vectrapet and printing out a coupon for a free trail!
