Our parasite prevention products can help protect your dog or cat from the following common parasites:
Fleas
Fleas are external parasites that feed on the blood of birds and mammals. Left untreated, fleas can quickly spread throughout your household.
Ticks
These external parasites feed on mammalian blood and are responsible for the spread of a variety of severe diseases in humans and pets.

Tiny, highly contagious ear mites reside in the ear canals of dogs, cats and other mammals. These parasites reproduce continuously throughout their lifespan.
Heartworm
This thread-like parasitic roundworm is spread through mosquito bites and makes its home in the heart, lungs and blood vessels of infected animals.

These parasites reside in the digestive tracts of cats and dogs, feeding on the blood of the animals. Hookworms can cause anemia and other significant health problems.
Roundworm
This parasitic worm lives in the intestine and feeds on partially digested intestinal contents. This parasite can rob your pet of vital nutrients necessary to stay healthy.

Tapeworms are spread by ingesting infected fleas while brushing. These hook-like parasitic worms live and develop in the intestines of your pet.
