General tips

The simple word parasite might make you shiver, and for good reasons! Google's definition of parasites is as follows: "an organism that lives in or on an organism of another species (its host) and gets its food from or at the expense of its host". It makes sense that we don't want to get parasites or our pets to have them. But unfortunately, our world is filled with them: worms, fleas, and ticks, to name a few.

Did you know that fleas are the most common parasites found in dogs and cats? Veterinarians frequently raise awareness against them because they can harm your pet and family, and they are tough to exterminate!
