At Foxwell Vet, we follow a simple, effective prevention plan to protect your pet against fleas, ticks, worms, and heartworm. If you’d like guidance on your pet’s preventative care, our experienced nurses are happy to help, or you can book an appointment with one of our vets.

For heartworm, we recommend the annual SR-12 injection, given at the same time as your pet’s yearly health check. This provides safe, year-long protection and is easier to keep on schedule than monthly preventatives.

For fleas and ticks, we recommend long-lasting preventatives available as convenient spot-ons or chews, with options that last from 3 to 6 months. We also now offer a yearly flea and tick prevention option for dogs for added convenience. Ask our team for more information about the best choice for your pet. These products help protect against deadly paralysis ticks and irritating fleas.

For worming, puppies need treatment every 2 weeks until 12 weeks of age, then monthly until 6 months, and every 3 months for life. Adult dogs should continue with worming every 3 months for life. Cats also benefit from a simple spot-on treatment that provides protection against multiple parasites.

Our preventative care program is designed to be low-stress and easy to manage. We can also set reminders so your pet’s protection is always up to date.
