In warm, humid climates, parasite prevention is paramount. Your dog is likely at high risk for fleas, ticks, heartworm, and various intestinal parasites. The best approach involves a combination of monthly broad-spectrum parasite preventatives, often prescribed by your veterinarian, which can cover heartworm, fleas, and some intestinal worms. Additionally, tick control products (collars, topicals, or orals) are crucial. Regular fecal exams are also recommended to catch any intestinal parasites. Keeping your yard tidy can also reduce vector habitats. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance on specific products suitable for your dog and region.
