Protecting Your Cat’s Health Inside and Out
Parasites can pose serious health risks to cats, affecting their comfort, health, and overall well-being. At The Hometown Veterinarian, we provide comprehensive care to detect, prevent, and treat parasites in cats. From internal parasites that impact digestion to external pests that irritate the skin, our parasite prevention services help keep your feline friend healthy and happy.
Why Parasite Prevention is Essential for Cats
Parasites can cause a variety of health problems for cats, ranging from mild irritation to severe, life-threatening conditions. Early detection and prevention are crucial for safeguarding your cat’s health.
The Dangers of Parasites:
- Intestinal Parasites: Worms like roundworms, hookworms, and tapeworms can lead to malnutrition, diarrhea, and other digestive issues.
- External Parasites: Fleas, ticks, ear mites, and mange mites can cause itching, irritation, and skin infections and may transmit diseases.
- Heartworms: While heartworms are less common in cats than dogs, they can still cause severe respiratory and cardiovascular problems, often without warning.
