Heartworms, fleas, and ticks are a year-round risk in Arizona's climate, and prevention is far simpler and safer than treating an infestation after the fact.
At Rose Veterinary, we offer heartworm testing and prevention, along with flea and tick treatments, right at your home. To learn more or schedule a visit, call us today at (602) 341-5214.
Heartworms, fleas, and ticks are more than just a nuisance, they can transmit serious diseases and put your pet's health at risk. At Rose Veterinary, our mobile veterinary service brings comprehensive parasite control, including heartworm testing and prevention, along with flea and tick treatments, right to your home throughout the Phoenix, AZ area.
Because Arizona's climate supports these parasites nearly year-round, consistent prevention is one of the most important things you can do to protect your pet's long-term health.
Our veterinarian will start with a quick in-home heartworm test, a simple blood draw that confirms your pet is heartworm-negative before starting or continuing prevention. From there, we'll discuss the best heartworm, flea, and tick prevention products for your pet based on their lifestyle, health history, and risk factors.
If your pet already has fleas or ticks, we'll recommend an appropriate treatment plan to eliminate the current infestation and prevent reinfestation, along with guidance on treating your home and yard if needed.
Heartworm disease is transmitted by mosquitoes and can cause severe, potentially fatal damage to your pet's heart and lungs if left untreated, and treatment is far more difficult and costly than prevention. Fleas and ticks can carry additional diseases, cause skin irritation and allergic reactions, and multiply quickly if not addressed.
Consistent, year-round parasite prevention is one of the simplest ways to protect your pet from these risks and avoid more serious, expensive health problems down the road.
Whether your pet is due for a heartworm test, needs flea and tick prevention, or is already dealing with an infestation, contact Rose Veterinary at (602) 341-5214 to schedule an in-home visit.
