Flea, Tick, & Heartworm Prevention for Pets in Wilton, NY
Protecting your pet from parasites is easier with the right prevention plan. At Saratoga Veterinary Hospital, we recommend year-round flea, tick, and heartworm prevention for dogs and cats to help keep them healthy and protected from common parasites and the diseases they carry.
Recommended Parasite Prevention for Dogs
We recommend two options to protect your dog against fleas, ticks, heartworms, and intestinal parasites:
-
Option 1: Heartgard Plus + NexGard or Vectra – Heartgard Plus protects against heartworms and certain intestinal parasites, while NexGard or Vectra provides flea and tick protection.
-
Option 2: NexGard Plus – A convenient, all-in-one monthly chew that protects against heartworms, certain intestinal parasites, fleas, and ticks.
Recommended Parasite Prevention for Cats
For cats, we recommend NexGard Combo, an all-in-one monthly topical that protects against heartworms, certain intestinal parasites, fleas, and ticks.
Addressing the Regional Threat of Tick-Borne Illnesses
In New York and greater New England, tick-borne diseases such as Lyme and anaplasmosis are a serious threat to the health and well-being of our pets. At Saratoga Veterinary Hospital, we like to stay one step ahead by recommending the best flea, tick, and heartworm prevention for cats and dogs as well as the Lyme vaccine for dogs. Additionally, we perform 4DX tests regularly on dogs to continually monitor their health and catch any tick-borne diseases sooner rather than later. If you have any questions about Lyme disease or other tick-borne illnesses and how they affect your pet and family, contact our animal hospital today!
