    The Usual Suspects: Return of The Parasite

    May 21, 2026

    An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure”- Benjamin Franklin

    Parasite season is upon us again! Its time to make sure your furry family member is fully protected against parsitic freeloaders like, fleas, ticks and intestinal worms!

    Ticks become active as soon as the weather is above freezing and many intestinal worm eggs survive the winterr, only to be picked up by a passing paw and injested when cleaning off chilly toe bean.

    We currently recommend dogs and outdoor cats stay on tick prevention from December to May and begin full parasite prevention again from June through November.

    Book a Blood Parasite Screening Today

    Give us a call at 416-532-1169 to discuss parasite prevention and your pet!
