How it works

- You purchase the preventives from us, choosing either a pay as you go option or purchasing 6 or 12 months in advance.

- You will receive a reminder when you are due to purchase more preventives.
Why is it important to protect your pet?
Heartworm can be deadly and is completely preventable
- Heartworm is transmitted by mosquitoes and is prevalent in Townsville
- Treatment is expensive and prolonged
- Please note, if your dog has not been on heartworm prevention, they must be tested before starting prevention
Fleas and Ticks can impact the health of your dog more than you think!
- Irritating bites and itchy skin
- Allergies, especially if exposed to fleas on a regular basis
- Diseases such as Babesiosis and Bartonellosis, which can also be transmitted to humans
- Paralysis from just one Paralysis Tick (fortunately not common in our city area)
Intestinal worms can affect dogs and humans and it isn’t just in the gut.
- Larval stages of hookworm can penetrate skin and cause dermatitis and even blindness
- Some forms of tapeworm can cause cysts in the lungs and brain
- If the environment becomes contaminated with worm eggs, it can be incredibly difficult to get rid of them
