Parasite Prevention for Pets and Families in Connecticut
Our doctors emphasize year-round parasite prevention to protect both pets and people. Preventives help guard against internal parasites, such as intestinal worms, and external parasites, including fleas and ticks, which can cause serious illness.
At Pieper Veterinary, we recommend annual fecal testing and annual blood testing for heartworm and tick-borne diseases, including Lyme disease, anaplasmosis, and ehrlichiosis. Most parasites are preventable with safe, effective products and are often treatable when detected early. Your veterinarian can help you choose the right prevention plan for your pet and lifestyle.
In Connecticut, ticks and tick-borne diseases are common and remain active year-round, including during the winter. Consistent flea, tick, and heartworm prevention is essential to protect your pet from these diseases.
