Fleas & Worms
 
Fleas, Worms, Mites and other creepy-crawlies
 
No-one likes their pet to bring in uninvited guests!
 
There are many preparations available for the prevention and treatment of flea and worm infestations.  We stock a range of products and our Vets are happy to discuss which would be the most appropriate for your pets: for example, Does your dog rummage in litter bins?  Will your cat shred the curtains if you try to give her a tablet?  Do you have foxes in your garden?  Parasite control should also include treatment of your home - this can be done yearly with Indorex (a household spray) and a good vaccuum.
 
Generally, we recommend that cats and dogs are wormed every 3-6 months and de-flea'd every 1-2 months, depending on the pet and the product used.  Please contact the surgery for specific advice.
