While the thought of parasites affecting your pet is unsettling, it’s a serious health issue that demands quick action and preventive care. Parasites can cause a range of medical problems, and a pet’s risk can vary based on factors like age, environment, and general health.

At Hialeah Animal Hospital, we emphasize the critical role of parasite prevention. Taking early and consistent steps to protect your pet is essential. Pets that don’t receive preventive care are much more likely to suffer from parasitic infections, some of which can affect human family members as well.

Prevention isn’t just safer — it’s also far more affordable. Preventive care costs a fraction of what treating an infection would, and it spares your pet from unnecessary discomfort. Some parasites, like heartworms, can even be fatal if left untreated, which is why prevention should always be a top priority.

In addition to parasite prevention, we also offer:

• Vaccinations
• Dental Care
• Nutritional Counseling
• Behavioral Counseling
• Comprehensive Wellness Exams
