PARASITES CAN BE TREATED

When external or internal parasites are found by your veterinarian, treatment is administered and preventative medications are recommended. In cases where preventative medications do not target the specific parasite, alternative medications are dispensed.

Maple Veterinary Hospital Veterinarians RECOMMEND:

yearly intestinal parasite testing for dogs and cats
yearly heartworm testing for dogs
intestinal parasite preventative or deworming medications for dogs and cats
external parasite flea or tick preventative for at-risk dogs and cats
