Protecting your pets from parasites is essential to keeping them healthy and happy. At The Ridge Veterinary Clinic, we provide comprehensive parasite prevention and treatment plans for both cats and dogs to ensure year-round protection.
Parasites aren’t just annoying—they can have serious health consequences for both pets and humans. Dogs and cats can pick up internal and external parasites at any point in their lives. If untreated, these parasites can cause mild irritation, serious illness, or even life-threatening conditions. Some parasites, like certain worms or ticks, can also transmit diseases to family members, making prevention a priority.
Our veterinary team can prevent, diagnose, and treat parasite infections to ensure your pet stays healthy and your family stays safe. Common parasites that can affect your pet include:
Parasites are not just a seasonal issue. Fleas and ticks can survive indoors during the winter months, while worms and other internal parasites can affect pets all year long. That’s why it’s important to use parasite prevention and heartworm medicine for dogs and puppies and cat parasite prevention consistently throughout the year. Regular use of these preventive measures keeps pets fully protected against harmful parasites.
Parasites don’t just harm pets, they can also pose health risks to people. To reduce exposure:
Parasites are a year-round risk in Omaha, but prevention is simple and effective. With the right prevention products and a consistent heartworm medicine routine, you can keep your dog safe, healthy, and by your side for years to come. Cats also benefit from parasite prevention, including flea, tick, and worm protection, to stay healthy and comfortable year-round.
