Welcome to Falcon Family Vet, where our veterinary team helps protect pets in Peyton, Falcon, and the surrounding areas from the health risks parasites can cause.
The idea of your pet having parasites can be unsettling, but with the right treatment, most pets make a full recovery. Depending on their age, where they live, and their daily activities, pets can be highly vulnerable to parasites that pose a range of health risks.
At Falcon Family Vet, we stress the importance of prevention. With the right precautions, you can successfully protect your pet. Unprotected pets frequently pick up parasites, which can cause serious problems for both pets and their owners. Some parasites, like heartworm, can be fatal, so preventing infection in the first place is crucial.
Our team makes parasite prevention simple, with testing and a prevention plan built around your pet.
We check your pet’s skin, coat, and overall health for signs of parasites or related problems.
Fecal testing screens for intestinal parasites like roundworms, hookworms, whipworms, and tapeworms. We also check for heartworm disease with a quick blood test. Learn more about our heartworm testing.
We recommend the right preventive products for your pet’s age, lifestyle, and risk, including monthly heartworm prevention.
If we find parasites, we create a treatment plan to clear the infection and help your pet make a full recovery.
Prevention is significantly less expensive than treatment, which can be costly and stressful for your pet. Keeping your pet on a consistent prevention plan protects their health and helps protect your family as well.
Heartworm disease can cause heart failure and lung disease. Monthly prevention is far safer and easier than treating an infection.
Some intestinal parasites can be passed from pets to people. Regular testing and prevention reduce that risk.
Preventing parasites costs much less than treating them and spares your pet the discomfort of being sick.
Contact our team if you notice any of these signs:
If you notice any of these signs, contact Falcon Family Vet promptly. Early treatment helps your pet recover faster.
Most pets benefit from year-round parasite prevention, including monthly heartworm prevention. We recommend fecal testing twice a year and regular heartworm testing as part of your pet’s wellness care. Our veterinarians will recommend a schedule that fits your pet’s lifestyle and risk.
