Why Prevention Matters
Fleas & Ticks
Paralysis ticks kill hundreds of pets across Australia's east coast every year. Monthly prevention is critical in high-risk areas, especially in warmer months (Sep–Mar).
Intestinal Worms
Roundworm, hookworm, whipworm, and tapeworm are common in Australian pets. Puppies and kittens need worming every 2 weeks until 12 weeks old, then monthly until 6 months.
Heartworm
Spread by mosquitoes and present across much of Australia. Prevention is far easier (and cheaper) than treatment. Monthly or yearly prevention options are available.
