One year after receiving their initial round of vaccines, your dog will need core booster vaccines. Frequency of boosters will depend on your dog's lifestyle, unique needs, and specific vaccine requirements.

Parasite Prevention

Left untreated, parasites are a serious, ever-present threat to your pet's life. At Thomasville Veterinary Hospital Urgent Care + Surgery, our professional veterinarians take care to prevent these. Our full line of prevention products safeguard your pet from these common parasites:

Fleas, Thomasville Vet

Fleas

These common, small external parasites suck blood, and can transmit other parasites.

Ticks, Thomasville Vet

Ticks

Ticks are external parasites that feed on an animal's blood, and can transmit disease.

Earmites, Thomasville Vet

Ear Mites

Ear mites can cause intense itching and lead to infection in the ear canals of your cat or dog.

Heartworm, Thomasville Vet

Heartworm

Mosquitoes commonly transmit these parasitic roundworms to cats, dogs, and other mammals.

Hookworm, Thomasville Vet

Hookworm

Hookworms are intestinal parasites that infect the digestive system of dogs and cats and feed on blood.

Roundworm, Thomasville Vet

Roundworm

Roundworms reside in the intestinal tract, feed on partially digested food, and cause serious issues.

Tapeworm, Thomasville Vet

Tapeworm

Parasitic tapeworm eggs are transmitted when an animal swallows an infected flea.

Whipworm, Thomasville Vet

Whipworm

The parasitic whipworm resembles a whip and embeds itself in an animal's intestinal wall.

Microchipping

Dog and cat collars with a name and phone number tag are helpful, but can quickly become outdated and therefore, not as effective. They can also break or fall off easily. A microchip, however, is permanent and can’t be separated from the pet. One of the most effective means of protecting your dog or cat from being lost or stolen is microchipping them.
