Heartworm disease is a serious condition that can cause many issues for Lakewood pets such as heart failure, severe lung disease, damage to other organs, and even death. This disease is most commonly seen in cats, dogs and ferrets. Here, our vets explain why prevention is key.
Ticks can spread a number of serious diseases and are therefore dangerous to people and pets. In this post, our Lakewood vets explain how these external parasites thrive, including which signs to beware of, and how to keep ticks away from your pets and your family.
Getting your pet a yearly fecal exam at your Lakewood veterinary office is an optimal way to keep your pet and family safe from internal parasites. These annual exams allow our vets to check for internal parasites before they have a chance to become serious problems.
We are happily accepting new patients at Red Rocks Animal Center! Our experienced vets are committed to the care of Lakewood pets. Reach out today to book your pet's first appointment.
