Parasite Prevention

Tiny Threats, Big Protection

No one wants creepy crawlies in their home, especially not ones that can transmit serious illness. And parasites like fleas, ticks, heartworms, and intestinal worms are a particularly pesky nuisance that can be dangerous for both pets and people.

At Colonial Animal Hospital, we offer the latest in flea, tick, and heartworm prevention, along with lab screening for internal parasites. Our veterinarians will help you select the most effective (and convenient!) options based on your pet’s age, size, and health status.

Heartworm Prevention

• • ProHeart® 12: One injection = a full year of protection for dogs
  • Sentinel Spectrum®: Monthly chewable that protects against heartworms and intestinal parasites
  • Bravecto® Topical: Long-lasting prevention for cats

Flea & Tick Prevention:

• • Bravecto® Chews: 12 weeks of protection for dogs
  • Seresto® Collars: 8-month protection for dogs
  • Bravecto® Topical for Cats: Easy application, long-lasting results

Intestinal Parasite Protection:

• • Includes roundworms, hookworms, tapeworms, and single-celled organisms like Giardia and coccidia—some of which can affect humans too. Many of our parasite preventatives offer combined protection to keep things simple.

Microchipping

A Lifesaver in a Tiny Package

Every year, thousands of pets go missing — but with a HomeAgain® microchip, your beloved companion has a way home. The size of a grain of rice, this tiny chip is placed just beneath your pet’s skin in a quick and virtually painless procedure (no anesthesia required!).

Your pet’s microchip contains a unique ID number that links to a national database. Veterinary clinics and shelters across the country use scanners to check for chips and reunite lost pets with their families quickly and safely.

Why We Recommend Microchipping:

• Permanent, lifelong ID that can’t fall off or fade
• National recovery database access 24/7
• HomeAgain chips feature a patented anti-migration design for easy scanning

Microchipping takes seconds and could save a lifetime of worry.
