Parasite Control

Safe, Strategic Parasite Prevention Tailored to Your Pet’s Needs

Parasite prevention is an essential part of keeping your pet healthy and comfortable year-round. At Blue Cross Veterinary Clinic, we recommend regular deworming and parasite control beginning in early life and continuing through adulthood. Puppies and kittens are especially vulnerable to internal parasites, so we provide carefully timed dewormings throughout the first year. As your pet ages, we create a customized plan to provide strategic parasite protection that fits their lifestyle. When prescribed by your veterinarian, parasite control medications are not only effective—they’re also safe and tailored specifically to your pet’s needs. Our goal is to protect your dog or cat from discomfort and disease caused by pests common in the Grays Harbor area.

Protecting Your Pet From Parasites

Our region is home to several parasites that can harm your pet’s health. Some cause skin irritation and discomfort, while others can lead to serious internal infections. Regular deworming, topical or oral treatments, and routine exams help ensure your pet stays protected.

Parasites We Commonly See and Treat Include:

  • Roundworms – A common intestinal parasite in puppies and kittens that can cause weight loss, bloating, and digestive issues.

  • Tapeworms – Typically spread by fleas, these intestinal parasites can lead to weight loss and digestive discomfort.

  • Fleas & Ticks – External parasites that can cause intense itching, allergic reactions, and transmit diseases.

  • Chiggers – Tiny mites that irritate the skin and cause red, itchy bumps.

  • Demodectic & Sarcoptic Mange – Skin conditions caused by mites that lead to hair loss, redness, and intense itching.

  • "This vet and staff are great. How many vets pick up your dog and hug him? After surgery he was hungry and they fed him before I could get there to pick him up. Very fair prices, clean and wonderful!"

  • "Best DVM in Grays Harbor. Excellent prices, but fancy. Been a fixture for decades, and knowledgeable. Kind to my dog too. Gets down on the ground, instead of exciting the animal on the exam table. Great Doc!"

    -Hali S.

  • "I am so thankful I found Blue Cross Veterinary Clinic. Dr. Bergey takes time to listen and explain.. Our fur babies mean the world to us and I am so glad to have finally found a vet who cares with a staff that cares."
