Parasites: a permanent threat

External parasites

External parasites attach to the skin and coat of your animal. These include fleas, ticks, augusts, lice, mosquitoes and phlebotomas. These pests are not only a source of discomfort, but they can also transmit serious diseases to your animals and to yourself. Their presence is often visible and can cause significant skin damage to the skin. dog and cat, causing itching and inflammation.

External pest control products are specifically designed to remove these pests on the surface of the animal's body. They come in different galenic forms (pipets, tablets, necklaces) to adapt to the lifestyle and preferences of each animal.

Internal parasites

Internal parasites, commonly referred to as « To », infest the internal organs of your animal (dog as cat). They usually spread when animals ingest larvae or eggs in the environment, or via fleas that can transmit certain types of tenias. These parasites gradually weaken the organism, making the animal tired, weightless, with a dull coat.

It is important to note that many of these internal parasites are transmissible to humans (zoonotics), such as toxoplasmosis, erychinococcosis or cryptosporidiosis, hence the importance of regular and appropriate treatment.

Our personalized approach to pest control treatments

Specialized pest consultation

During a dedicated consultation, our veterinary team evaluates the specific pest risk to your animal according to several criteria:

  • Age and species

  • Its habitat area and season
  • The presence of potentially vulnerable individuals in your home (children, pregnant women, immunocompromised persons)
  • His medical history and possible sensitivities

This evaluation allows us to offer you a tailor-made protocol tailored to the specific needs of your companion.

Preventive and curative solutions

We propose two complementary approaches:

  1. Preventive treatment They are the basis for good pest protection and should be administered regularly according to a schedule adapted to your animal's risk profile.
  2. Cure In case of proven infestation, we put in place an immediate therapeutic strategy to eliminate the parasites present and relieve your animal.
