While not always visible, it is estimated that 1 out of 5 pets tested is infected with internal parasites. In the spring, fleas and ticks become more visible and active. Fleas, heartworm and internal parasites can cause disease in both pets and people including heart damage, blindness, even death. Common symptoms include diarrhea, blood in the stool, weight loss and, in the case of heartworm disease, heart and lung damage. Prevention is the key. Using a monthly preventive like Sentinel (for dogs) or Revolution (for cats) is the best prevention of infestation in your pet, in your yard and in your home.
