Parasites rely on their hosts for survival. Some feed on the blood of their hosts, some compete with the nutrients in the digestive tract, while some occupy important organs of the body. Internal and external parasites can have a significant impact on the health and wellbeing of pets, thus, there is a need for a good parasite program that will protect your pet throughout the year and not just during certain seasons of the year.

Fleas, ticks, and mites are the most common external parasites of cats and dogs. Heavy infestation can cause increased blood loss, hotspots, skin irritation, and hair loss.
