Did you know?
  • We are entering the worst flea and tick season of the year.
  • Muskegon County is an endemic county for ticks, meaning we have a high risk of tick bites and tick-borne diseases.
  • Pets are at risk for heartworm disease year round! All it takes is 1 mosquito bite to infect a dog or cat with heartworms.
  • Your pets can become infected with intestinal parasites, such as hookworms and roundworms, that can be transmitted to humans. This is especially concerning for kids who live with dogs and cats. 
  • We have rebates and multi-pack promotions for all of our preventatives to help you save money! 
  • Set up your pet's heartworm, tick, and fecal tests today to make sure they are free of parasites! 
Parasites are sneaky, tough, and sometimes difficult to get rid of. They can thrive in terrible conditions and travel into your backyard via other rodents and birds. We recommend year-round prevention to protect your pets and your human family against nasty parasite infections.
