Parasite Prevention in San Antonio
Defending Your Pet’s Health Year-Round
In San Antonio’s warm, humid climate, parasites like fleas, ticks, mosquitoes, and intestinal worms thrive year-round. That means parasite prevention isn’t just a seasonal concern—it’s an essential part of your pet’s wellness plan. At Potranco Veterinary Clinic, we’re committed to helping you protect your pet from these harmful invaders before they cause discomfort, disease, or worse.
The Hidden Dangers of Parasites
Parasites can silently compromise your pet’s health long before any symptoms appear. Fleas can trigger severe skin allergies and spread tapeworms. Ticks can transmit serious illnesses like Lyme disease and ehrlichiosis. Mosquitoes are carriers of heartworm—a potentially fatal condition that damages the heart and lungs. And intestinal parasites like roundworms, hookworms, and giardia can lead to vomiting, diarrhea, weight loss, and even zoonotic transmission to humans.
Preventive care is not only safer than treatment—it’s also more affordable and stress-free.
