Protection against fleas, ticks and internal parasites
External and internal parasites threaten our companions' health and, in some cases, can spread to people too. Regular protection is far easier than treatment.
External parasites: fleas and ticks
Fleas and ticks, which increase especially in warm months, can cause many problems from itching to serious diseases. Regular preventive applications are important.
Internal parasites
Internal parasites such as intestinal worms can cause digestive problems and developmental delay. Periodic antiparasitic treatment is recommended.
Protection schedule
- External parasite protection: usually monthly applications
- Internal parasite treatment: periodic, per vet advice
- Extra measures during seasonal risk peaks
We can build a protection plan suited to your companion's lifestyle together.
