Protecting your pet with our
Parasite Treatments
Worming
Both puppies and kittens can be born with a heavy roundworm burden, so it is essential to get on top of worming treatments from the start. Worming should be started at two weeks of age and be repeated every two weeks until 3 months of age. Good hand hygiene is essential when interacting with your pet as it is possible for people, especially small children, to become unwell if they become infected with worms.
These treatments should then be continued monthly until they reach 6 months of age. Following these initial treatments, your pet will require worming treatments every 1-3 months depending on the product you choose to help prevent lungworm and tapeworm and roundworms. We have a wide range of worming treatments available so please talk to our vets and nurses about what product would suit you and your pet best.

Fleas, Ticks, lice & Mites
Fleas, ticks, lice and mites can all be treated and prevented with regular spot-ons or tablets depending on the product you choose. Puppies & kittens can be safely treated from 8 weeks of age. Not only are these parasites sore and uncomfortable for your pet, they can sometimes transmit other more serious diseases. There are certain times of the year when these parasites may be more prevalent but a yearlong approach to treatment is the best way to prevent your pet from developing a parasite burden. Like treating worms, we have products that provide 1 month or 3 months protection and come in either spot-on or tablet form.
