Pet Parasite Control
Parasites can affect your pet’s comfort, health, and quality of life. At Kehoe Animal Clinic of Viera, we provide safe, effective pet parasite control in Melbourne, FL to protect dogs and cats from fleas, ticks, heartworms, and intestinal parasites year-round.
What Is Pet Parasite Control?
Pet parasite control is the prevention and treatment of internal and external parasites that can cause discomfort and disease. Common parasites include fleas, ticks, heartworms, and intestinal worms, which can lead to skin irritation, digestive problems, or even life-threatening illness.
Kehoe Animal Clinic takes a proactive approach by recommending regular screenings, preventive medications, and personalized care plans based on your pet’s age, health, and lifestyle in Central Florida, where parasites thrive year-round.
What to Expect from Parasite Prevention
During your pet’s exam, our veterinarians will:
- Perform routine fecal exams and bloodwork to check for hidden parasites
- Recommend safe and effective flea, tick, and heartworm preventives
- Provide guidance on at-home prevention, including hygiene and environmental control
- Offer treatment options if parasites are detected, tailored to your pet’s specific needs
Our team takes time to answer your questions and explain prevention options so you feel confident about protecting your pet.
Why Parasite Control Is Important
Parasites can do more than cause itching or irritation—they can transmit dangerous diseases, lead to anemia, and impact your pet’s overall health. In Central Florida’s warm climate, fleas, ticks, and mosquitoes are active almost year-round, increasing the risk of heartworm disease and tick-borne illnesses. Routine pet parasite control helps:
