Pet Parasite Prevention & Control in Wilson, NC

Protecting Your Pet—and Your Family—from Harmful Parasites

Parasites aren’t just a nuisance—they can pose serious health risks to your pet and even to your family. At Brentwood Veterinary Center, we offer comprehensive parasite prevention and control services to keep your pet safe, healthy, and protected year-round.

Why Parasite Prevention Matters

Fleas, ticks, heartworms, and intestinal parasites can cause serious illnesses that are often difficult—and costly—to treat. Many of these parasites are also zoonotic, meaning they can spread to people.

The good news? Most of these issues are entirely preventable with regular protection and early detection.

Common Parasites We Prevent and Treat:

  • Fleas: Cause itching, allergies, and skin infections; can transmit tapeworms
  • Ticks: Transmit dangerous diseases like Lyme, Ehrlichia, and Anaplasmosis
  • Heartworms: Spread by mosquitoes; cause serious heart and lung disease in dogs and cats
  • Intestinal Parasites: Including roundworms, hookworms, whipworms, and tapeworms—often found through fecal testing
  • Ear Mites & Mange Mites: Microscopic pests that cause irritation, infection, and hair loss

Our Parasite Prevention Services Include:

  • Year-round flea, tick, and heartworm prevention
  • Routine fecal exams to detect intestinal parasites
  • Heartworm testing and treatment plans
  • Customized prevention recommendations based on your pet’s age, lifestyle, and risk level
  • Education on zoonotic risk and household prevention strategies

Indoor Pets Need Protection Too

Even pets that live mostly indoors are still at risk for parasites. Mosquitoes can enter your home, and fleas or ticks can hitch a ride in on shoes, clothing, or other pets. Consistent prevention is the best defense.

Keep Parasites Out of Your Pet’s Life

Prevention is simple, safe, and cost-effective—and it protects not just your pet, but your whole household.
