Pet Parasite Prevention & Control

It’s never any fun to have to battle fleas, ticks, or intestinal worms, so our team at Appleseed Valley Veterinary Hospital keeps these pests off your pet for good with reliable pet parasite prevention in Lexington, OH, for year-round protection.

Why Parasite Prevention Matters

From flea infestations to tick-borne diseases and intestinal worms, parasites can pose a major threat to your pet’s health and comfort. Left untreated, these pests can cause:

  • Chronic itching and skin infections
  • Anemia or blood loss
  • Digestive issues like vomiting or diarrhea
  • Transmission of serious diseases (e.g., Lyme disease, tapeworm, heartworm)
  • Zoonotic risk — meaning humans in your home can become infected too

The good news? With consistent preventative care, these problems are completely avoidable. Our veterinary team is committed to keeping your pets pest-free, year-round.
