Protect your furry family members from dangerous parasites with veterinary-supervised tick prevention — keeping Sacramento pets healthy and tick-free year-round.
Don't wait until you find a tick on your pet to take action. Protect them with expert prevention from Sacramento's trusted veterinary team.
Pet tick prevention encompasses the strategies and treatments used to protect dogs, cats, and other companion animals from tick infestations and the dangerous diseases they transmit. At Broadway Veterinary Hospital, our comprehensive approach includes prescription-strength preventatives, regular screening, and personalized prevention plans tailored to your pet’s lifestyle and risk factors.
Ticks in the Sacramento area can transmit serious illnesses including Lyme disease, ehrlichiosis, anaplasmosis, and Rocky Mountain spotted fever. These tiny parasites are more than just a nuisance – they pose a significant health threat to your pets. Even indoor pets can be exposed to ticks when they venture outside briefly, making prevention essential for virtually all companion animals.
Our veterinarians understand the local tick populations and seasonal patterns specific to Sacramento, allowing us to recommend the most effective prevention strategies for your pet’s individual needs. We focus on safe, proven methods that provide continuous protection without unnecessary chemicals or treatments.
At Broadway Veterinary Hospital, we offer a complete range of tick prevention services tailored to your pet’s specific needs. Our comprehensive tick risk assessments evaluate your pet’s lifestyle, environment, and health status to determine their exact prevention requirements. This personalized approach ensures effective protection without unnecessary treatments.
We provide access to veterinarian-approved, prescription-strength tick preventatives that offer superior protection compared to over-the-counter options. Our selection includes topical applications, oral medications, and collars to accommodate your preferences and your pet’s needs. Our experienced team will guide you through proper application techniques to maximize effectiveness.
Our services also include professional tick screening and removal during regular examinations. Our veterinarians are skilled in safe tick removal and can teach you how to perform thorough tick checks at home. For pets with known tick exposure or symptoms of tick-borne illness, we offer comprehensive testing through our in-house laboratory, allowing for rapid results and prompt treatment when necessary.
Professional tick prevention provides essential protection from serious diseases including Lyme disease, ehrlichiosis, and Rocky Mountain spotted fever. These conditions can cause fever, lethargy, joint pain, and even organ damage if left untreated. By preventing tick attachment and feeding, our veterinary-supervised strategies dramatically reduce your pet’s risk of contracting these illnesses, potentially saving you thousands in treatment costs while sparing your pet significant suffering.
Sacramento’s mild climate means ticks remain active nearly year-round, making continuous protection essential. Our prevention programs provide consistent safeguarding through all seasons, eliminating the guesswork of when to start and stop treatment. This comprehensive approach ensures there are no gaps in your pet’s protection, giving you peace of mind that your furry family member is protected regardless of the season.
The pet product market is flooded with tick prevention options, many with confusing claims. Our veterinarians cut through the marketing hype to recommend only scientifically-proven products appropriate for your specific pet. We consider factors like species, age, weight, health status, and potential medication interactions when making recommendations. This personalized approach prevents wasteful spending on ineffective products and reduces the risk of adverse reactions.
At Broadway Veterinary Hospital, tick prevention is integrated into your pet’s comprehensive wellness plan, ensuring that prevention strategies complement other aspects of your pet’s healthcare. This holistic approach creates more effective, sustainable protection that contributes to your pet’s long-term health and quality of life.
