Parasite Prevention

Cat & Dog Parasite Prevention in Conyers

Protecting Pets from Fleas, Ticks, Heartworm & More

Parasites not only are a nuisance but can pose serious health risks to your pets and family. At Conyers Animal Hospital, we develop parasite prevention plans tailored to your pet’s lifestyle, environment, and health needs. Consistent, year-round protection is the safest and most effective way to keep your pets healthy in every season.

Why Parasite Prevention Matters 

Dogs and cats can be exposed to internal and external parasites at any time. While some parasites cause minor irritation, others can lead to severe or life-threatening conditions. Many parasites can also spread disease to humans, making consistent prevention critical for everyone in your household. 

Common Pet Parasites 

Our veterinarians at Conyers Animal Hospital can help prevent, diagnose, and treat these parasites, keeping your pets healthy and your home safe: 

  • Fleas 
  • Ticks 
  • Heartworms 
  • Roundworms 
  • Hookworms 
  • Whipworms 
  • Tapeworms 
  • Coccidia 
  • Mange mites 

Year-Round Protection for Cats & Dogs 

Parasites are a threat all year, not just during warm months. Consistent, year-round protection is the safest and most effective way to keep your pets healthy in every season.   

  • Fleas and ticks may be less active outside in winter, but they can survive indoors and continue reproducing.  
  • Mosquitoes, carriers of heartworm disease, can remain active in milder temperatures or find their way inside.  
  • Internal parasites, like intestinal worms, can also persist year-round, potentially causing digestive issues, weight loss, or other health problems. 

For dogs, Bravecto Quantum offers a convenient, single-dose option that provides 12 months of continuous flea and tick protection. This once-a-year treatment helps simplify parasite prevention while ensuring reliable coverage. Pair it with a year-round heartworm preventive for complete protection. 

How to Keep Your Pet Parasite-Free 

Along with veterinary-recommended prevention, you can reduce parasite risk by: 

  • Practicing good hygiene when handling pets 
  • Using year-round flea and tick preventatives 
  • Feeding only cooked or commercial pet food, not raw meat 
  • Limiting access to high-traffic pet areas such as dog parks 
  • Promptly cleaning up pet waste 
  • Scheduling annual exams and routine parasite screenings 
  • Administering deworming medications as recommended
