  • It is fairly common for a dog or cat to become infected with an internal or external parasite at some point in its lifetime. Parasites can affect your pet in a variety of ways, ranging from simple irritation to causing life-threatening conditions if left untreated. Some parasites can even infect and transmit diseases to you and your family. We desire to protect pets and people from parasites. The Companion Animal Parasite Council (CAPC) has developed Guidelines for parasite control for your pet and your family.

  • We suggest that you choose a food that has undergone an AAFCO feeding trial and is formulated for the animals specific life stage (we prefer pets avoid all life stage diets).
