Cat & Dog Parasite Prevention in Metro Atlanta

Keeping Pets Protected from Fleas, Ticks, Heartworms & More

Protecting your pets from parasites is one of the most important parts of responsible pet care. At All Care Veterinary Network, our veterinarians provide comprehensive prevention and treatment plans to keep your dogs and cats safe from harmful pests all year long. 

Parasites are more than just a nuisance. They can cause irritation, discomfort, or even life-threatening disease. Many parasites also pose risks to humans, making consistent prevention essential for your entire family. 

Why Consistent Parasite Protection Matters

Keeping your pet on a year-round prevention plan offers lasting benefits: 

• Stops the spread of disease: Parasites like ticks and mosquitoes can transmit serious illnesses including Lyme disease and heartworm. 
• Prevents internal damage: Worms and other internal parasites can silently harm your pet’s organs over time. 
• Reduces discomfort: Fleas, mites, and other pests can cause painful itching, allergies, and skin infections. 
• Protects your household: Some parasites can be transmitted to humans, especially children or immunocompromised family members. 
• Saves time and money: Preventing infestations is far easier—and less expensive—than treating them.

Protect Your Pet & Family from Parasites

Parasites don’t just affect pets; they can spread to people, too. Reduce the risk of infection to your pet or family by:

• Practice good hygiene when handling pets or cleaning waste 
• Keep your pet on year-round parasite prevention
• Feed only cooked or commercial pet food—avoid raw meat 
• Restrict access to sandboxes, dog parks, or high-traffic pet areas 
• Clean up pet feces promptly 
• Schedule annual exams and routine parasite testing 
• Follow your veterinarian’s recommendations for deworming and prevention 

Year-round Pet Parasite Prevention 

Parasites don’t take a break, even when the weather cools down. Fleas and ticks can survive indoors throughout the winter, and mosquitoes—the carriers of heartworm disease—can remain active during mild weather conditions.

Because these parasites can be present at any time of year, our veterinarians recommend continuous, year-round prevention tailored to your pet's unique lifestyle and health needs.

This once-a-year parasite prevention treatment eliminates the worry of missing monthly or quarterly doses by providing consistent, reliable coverage. Pair Quantum with a year-round heartworm preventive to ensure complete protection against the most common parasites that can threaten your dog’s health.
