Keeping your
pet worm free
We recommend worming your pet every three months. Use Drontal or Milbemax to control both roundworms and tapeworms, administered in a single dose down the throat.
If your pet's worms are left untreated, the symptoms might include vomiting, constipation, diarrhoea, anaemia and, in serious cases, will result in death.
Don't delay - ask us about worming methods today. If you have any difficulty, our nurses will be happy to worm your cat or dog for you.
It is important that you keep your animal healthy and happy.

Flea control measures
Fleas are extremely unpleasant and will cause your pet frustration, restlessness and distress if left unchecked. The bites will itch and inflammation can lead to serious skin problems.
Fleas can also transmit tapeworm, which often escalates into a major health issue. Besides this, fleas can be a major annoyance to the pet owner and their family as animal fleas do bite humans as well.
There are a great many flea treatments and prevention products available, but we think the most effective ones are Frontline Combo, Stronghold and R.I.P.
- Frontline - for fleas and ticks
- Stronghold - flea and tapeworm
- R.I.P - household flea infestations (not for use on animals)
Why neuter your pet?
Having your cat or dog neutered is a good idea for a number of health and social reasons. Besides preventing unwanted pregnancies, the act of neutering an animal can assist in the avoidance of several serious medical conditions including:
In bitches:
- Pyometra
- Tumours of the mammaries
In male dogs:
- Testicular cancer
- Prostatis
- Anal ademona
In male and female cats:
- Feline Immunodeficiency Virus
or Feline Lukaemia Virus
Neutering will also reduce the amount of wandering and mixing that a male animal does, and curb the female's desire to draw males, which often results in fights.
