Pet Vaccination & Reproductive Surgery Schedule

Current cat and dog vaccinations are crucial when it comes to protecting your companion from a range of contagious, often serious, diseases. Having your pet spayed or neutered not only prevents the birth of unwanted litters, but can also help to protect your pet against some serious forms of cancer. These common surgical procedures may prevent unwanted behaviors such as howling, scooting, roaming, and animal aggression.

Parasite Prevention at Ridgemont Animal Hospital

Parasites pose a serious health threat to people and animals in the Rochester area. Parasites can threaten the life of your cat or dog, and in some cases can even be transmitted to other people or pets living in your household if left untreated. Our parasite prevention products can help protect your dog or cat from the following common parasites:

Fleas

Fleas are external parasites that feed on the blood of birds and mammals. Fleas can quickly spread throughout your household if left untreated.

Ticks

These external parasites consume the blood of mammals and are responsible for the spread of a number of serious conditions in pets and people. 

Ear Mites

Tiny, highly contagious ear mites reside in the ear canals of dogs, cats, and other mammals. These parasites continuously reproduce throughout their lifespan. 

Heartworm

This thread-like parasitic roundworm is spread through mosquito bites and makes its home in the heart, lungs, and blood vessels of infected animals.

Hookworm

These parasites live in the digestive tract of cats and dogs where they feed on the pet's blood. Hookworms can lead to anemia and other serious conditions.

Roundworm

This parasitic worm lives in the intestine and feeds on partially digested contents in the intestines. This parasite can rob your pet of vital nutrients necessary to stay healthy.

Tapeworm

Tapeworms are spread through the ingestion of infected fleas during grooming. These hook-like parasitic worms live and grow in your pet's intestines. 

Whipworm

Whipworms are spread through the ingestion of soil that has been in contact with an infected dog's feces. Whipworms pose a serious health risk to dogs.
