Flea & Worm Treatment to Protect Your Pets and Family
The health and welfare of your family and your pet depend on routine preventative treatments for common parasites. It is far easier and less costly to avoid infestations than to deal with the potential consequences.
Peak's doctors conduct a risk assessment based on your pet's habits and way of life in order to tailor parasite prevention to your pet's need. By doing this, we can ensure that the flea and worm medicine we give them is the best.

Flea Prevention
Fleas are one of the most common external parasites and can cause discomfort and irritation to dogs' skin. However, fleas do not only stay on your cat; they may cause infestations in your home by dispersing their eggs. Flea bites can also cause expensive treatment problems and annoy you and your house.
Before emerging, adult fleas may remain dormant in their cocoons for up to six months. Once active, a single flea biting every five minutes may cause your pet to itchy all the time. It only takes one flea to start an infestation since a female lays enough eggs to rapidly spread the problem.
In addition to dogs and cats, fleas can prey on rabbits and hedgehogs. Fleas from other animals may settle on your pet outside, feed on their blood, and begin to lay eggs.

Worm Prevention
Roundworms, lungworms, tapeworms, and hookworms are among the many worms that pose a serious threat to pets and their owners. In the United Kingdom, these parasites are widespread and can lay up to 100,000 eggs every day. When transported from your pet's waste, these eggs can infect humans and contaminate the environment.
Eating worm eggs by mistake can have major health effects since worms can move to areas like the brain and eyes. Lungworms, which are extremely dangerous and usually ineffective with over-the-counter treatments, are carried by slugs and snails. Worming must be done consistently and effectively for protection throughout the year.
Our range of flea and worm treatment products, which include tablets, liquids, granules, and spot-ons, targets all worm and flea species that might endanger your pet. Avoid non-veterinary products since they may not provide complete protection.
Tick Protection
The tick is another common parasite that poses a major risk to your feline companion. They may spread diseases like Lyme disease, which can be fatal and have major health consequences.
Tips for Preventing Tick Bites:
- Use Preventative Treatments: Ticks are eradicated before they bite by collars, oral drugs, and topical treatments.
- Check Regularly: After spending time outside, check your pet's head, ears, neck and paws for ticks. Ticks should be carefully removed using tweezers, being sure to remove the whole tick.
- Maintain Your Garden: Keeping your landscaping tidy will help you get fewer ticks. Ticks like weeds and dense grass.
- Avoid High-Risk Areas: In forested and brushy areas, ticks are more prevalent.
- Consult Your Vet: Get personalised recommendations for tick-prevention products for your pet.
By following these tips and taking preventative measures, you can help protect your pets from the risks associated with tick bites. If you have any concerns or questions about tick prevention for your pet, be sure to call Peak Vets today.

Frequently Asked Questions For Pet Flea and Worm Treatment
What happens to my pet if they don't have flea and worm treatment?
Neglecting flea and worm treatment might have disastrous consequences. Depending on the type of parasite, your pet may have pain including anaemia, artery inflammation, heart blood flow blockage, bowel obstructions, and, in severe situations, death if treatment is not administered.
Can you get combined flea and worm treatment for pets?
All-in-one flea and wormers are products that treat both fleas and worms in dogs. It is always advisable to see your veterinarian, though, as certain worm species are not protected by these medications. Furthermore, a combination of drugs may cause negative effects for your pet that are not covered.
How often does my pet need flea and worm treatment?
Every two to three months, or even more often, treat your pet for fleas and worms. Depending on your pet's lifestyle, speak with your veterinarian about the best course of action.
How long should I wait between each flea and worm treatment?
Many people want to know if they may treat their cats for fleas and worms at the same time, or how long it should be between treatments. Depending on which two therapies are being administered, you may need to wait 48 hours or two weeks in between. Please ask your veterinarian how to use flea and worm medications safely and effectively before picking them up.
Do indoor cats need flea and worm treatment?
All cats, particularly indoor cats, require routine flea and worm prevention treatments. Contrary to popular opinion, a cat who lives only indoors does not need these treatments. Since fleas commonly travel on clothing and luggage, they can enter the house at any time. A cat may be exposed to fleas even during a visit to the clinic, when other cats may not have gotten treatment.
Does my rabbit need flea and worm treatment?
For your rabbit's long-term health and well-being, as well as the health of your family and other rabbits, you must continuously use preventative, effective medications against the most common parasites over their lifetime. Remember, prevention is far easier and less costly than cure. Other parasites and diseases that affect rabbits include mites, flystrike, and E. cuniculi.
For further details on these, speak with your veterinarian.
