Flea, Tick & Worming Protection

Protecting your pet from fleas, ticks, and worms is an essential part of responsible pet care. These parasites don’t just cause discomfort—they can also lead to serious health issues if left untreated. At Attadale Veterinary Hospital, we provide tailored parasite prevention plans to keep your pet healthy, happy, and protected all year round.

Why Parasite Prevention Matters

Even clean, indoor pets are at risk of picking up parasites from the environment, other animals, or through contact with contaminated soil, water, or food. Preventative care is easier and more effective than treating an infestation or infection once it occurs.

Fleas

• Cause itching, hair loss, and skin infections

• Can lead to flea allergy dermatitis in sensitive pets

• Quickly infest homes and other pets

• Carry tapeworms and other diseases

Ticks

• Can cause tick paralysis, especially in certain regions of Australia

• Attach to the skin and feed on blood

• May transmit other serious diseases

• Can be life-threatening without quick treatment

Intestinal Worms

• Include roundworm, hookworm, whipworm, and tapeworm

• May cause diarrhoea, weight loss, vomiting, and nutritional deficiencies

• Some can be passed to humans (especially children)

• Often show no visible signs until the infection is severe

Heartworm

• Spread by mosquitoes

• Affects the heart and lungs

• Can be fatal if left untreated

• Prevention is much safer and easier than treatment
