Parasites like fleas, ticks and internal worms can be detrimental to the health of your pet. In Louisiana, the threat of parasites is year-round. Therefore, it is important to protect your pet properly to safeguard its health. While fleas and ticks may be a simple nuisance, internal parasites can be fatal if unchecked. Your veterinarian can recommend a product that is appropriate for your pet. Many products on the market today cover a spectrum of bugs to make the administration process easier. Heartworms generally pose the most danger to dogs in this climate.
The St. Tammany Humane Society offers a low-cost veterinarian clinic on premises, and they can advise you on safeguarding your pet against parasites.
