Parasite Prevention

Dogs can be exposed to parasites through everyday activities such as walking outdoors, contact with other animals, hunting, scavenging and eating raw meat or animal tissue.

Depending on your dog’s lifestyle, parasite prevention may need to provide protection against:

• Fleas
• Ticks
• Intestinal worms
• Tapeworm
• Heartworm

NexGard Spectra for Dogs

We offer NexGard Spectra for dogs, providing broad parasite protection in a convenient treatment.

NexGard Spectra provides protection against fleas, ticks, heartworm and several intestinal worms, with coverage determined by the specific product and its approved Australian label.

Your veterinarian can advise whether NexGard Spectra is appropriate for your dog and how often it should be given.

This is a convenient way to help keep your dog’s parasite prevention up to date while providing additional protection against tapeworm.

Speak with our team for current offer details and to make sure your dog receives the appropriate tapeworm treatment for their individual needs.

ProHeart Heartworm Prevention

We also offer ProHeart injections for long-lasting heartworm prevention in dogs.

ProHeart provides an alternative to regular oral or topical heartworm prevention, with the injection administered by our veterinary team.

Your veterinarian can discuss whether ProHeart is suitable for your dog and explain the recommended treatment schedule based on their age, weight and individual circumstances.

Tapeworm Protection

Tapeworm is an important consideration for dogs that hunt, scavenge, eat raw meat or animal offal, or have exposure to fleas.

Flea control can help reduce the risk of flea-associated tapeworm, but controlling fleas is not the same as treating an established tapeworm infection.

If you notice small, rice-like segments around your dog’s anus, in their bedding or in their faeces, contact our veterinary team. Your dog may require a specific tapeworm treatment.

Cats can also be exposed to parasites, even if they spend most of their time indoors.

Your cat’s parasite prevention needs may depend on whether they go outdoors, hunt, interact with other animals, or live in an area where particular parasites are more common.

Depending on their individual risk, protection may be recommended against:

• Fleas
• Intestinal worms
• Tapeworm
• Heartworm
• Other relevant parasites

NexGard Spectra for Cats

We offer NexGard Spectra for cats, providing broad parasite protection in a convenient treatment.

NexGard Spectra for cats provides protection against parasites covered by the product’s approved Australian label. Your veterinarian can advise whether it is suitable for your cat and how often it should be used.

Intestinal Worms and Tapeworm

Cats can develop intestinal worms through exposure to contaminated environments, other animals, prey and fleas.

Tapeworm risk can be higher in cats that hunt or catch prey, eat raw animal tissue or have flea exposure.

Milpro contains active ingredients that provide treatment against certain intestinal worms and tapeworms. The appropriate product and dose depend on your cat’s weight, age and individual circumstances.
