Worming

Worm-free pets are healthy and happy!

Roundworms and tapeworms commonly infest cats and dogs with no obvious symptoms, making de-worming more vital. Worms are a threat to humans and need to be treated regularly. If your pet gets affected by worms, it can also lead to adverse effects on you. This is why we suggest worming your dog or cat four times a year. Different sized pets require different treatments, so please feel free to get in touch with us to discuss your requirement.

Flea Treatment

Fleas living in your pet's fur are small and difficult to detect. They are the most common parasitic problem with pets. While sprays, flea collars, powders, shampoos and dips can work, it is better to get your pet at our centre at Castlewellan to get the best defence against these blood-sucking parasites. Our staff are trained to recommend the best up to date treatment for your pet.

In addition to fleas and worm control, we also suggest regular vaccination for your pet's healthy life.
