Pet Heartworm, Flea, and Tick Prevention

Parasites aren’t just a nuisance—they pose serious health risks for pets and their people. That’s why year-round parasite prevention is a cornerstone of our preventative care program.

Heartworm disease is life-threatening and transmitted by mosquitoes, making monthly prevention essential. Fleas and ticks can carry Lyme disease, tapeworms, and other harmful pathogens. Left untreated, infestations can lead to skin infections, anemia, and long-term complications.

At Lyman Vet, we offer:

  • Safe, vet-recommended heartworm preventives
  • Easy-to-administer flea and tick medications
  • Thorough exams to detect early signs of infestation
  • Guidance on the best prevention plan for your pet’s lifestyle

Pet Nutrition Guidance

A balanced diet is one of the most powerful tools for disease prevention. Whether you’re feeding a new puppy, managing a senior pet’s weight, or navigating a health condition, our team is here to help.

Our veterinary nutrition services include:

  • Diet recommendations tailored to breed, size, and life stage
  • Weight management support and obesity prevention
  • Prescription diet counseling for chronic conditions (e.g., kidney disease, diabetes)
  • Tips for picky eaters, food allergies, and gastrointestinal sensitivities
Nutrition impacts everything from immunity and energy to skin, coat, and joint health.
