Fleas

Fleas are small, wingless external parasites that consume blood of birds and mammals.

Ticks

These small, blood-sucking parasites attach to mammals. They may spread disease.

Ear Mites

Tiny ear mites live in mammals' ear canals and are highly contagious. Outdoor cats are most at risk.

Heartworm

Parasitic heartworms are spread through mosquito bites and can cause serious disease.

Hookworm

Hookworms reside in the digestive system and can cause serious illness in dogs and cats.

Roundworm

Parasitic roundworms feed on intestinal contents and deprive animals of nutrients.

Tapeworm

Flat, segmented tapeworms reside in your pet's intestines and cause health problems.
