Parasite Prevention

Fleas, ticks, heartworms, hookworms, roundworms, and whipworms threaten pets year-round in Nebraska’s ever-changing climate. TLC Vet Care crafts individualized parasite prevention plans that protect not only your dog or cat but also the humans who share your home.

‍

Why continuous protection matters in Hastings  

• Temperatures above 50 °F allow flea pupae to hatch even in “winter.”  

• Mosquitoes capable of spreading heartworm larvae thrive near the Platte River basin.  

• Ticks transmit Lyme and ehrlichiosis during any thaw and remain active on mild winter days.  

• Many intestinal worms are zoonotic—children can pick up infections from contaminated yards.

‍
