Flea, Tick, & Heartworm Prevention
Practice Good Flea and Tick Prevention Year Round
Flea and tick prevention begins the instant that you take your cat or dog outside! Fleas can jump on and off your pet before you even realize that they were there. Fleas can not only cause your dog to itch and develop flea allergy dermatitis, but they also carry blood-borne parasites, tapeworms, and more! Ticks can be active every month of the year. Ticks can carry Lyme disease, cause Tick paralysis, and human-transmitted diseases! Fleas and ticks can live indoors in undisturbed, protected sites (e.g., in carpets, under furniture, along baseboards). As with most diseases, prevention is the greatest defense against ticks and fleas.
Check With a Veterinarian Before Using Flea and Tick Products
Many flea and tick preventions are designed specifically for dogs or cats. Particularly, if cats are given dog prevention products, they can have very bad reactions and it could potentially be life-threatening. Some dog breeds can also be very sensitive to certain flea and tick products. We can recommend personalized flea and tick treatments that you can use to prevent fleas and ticks throughout the year.

Laser Therapy
What is Laser Therapy?
Petplex Animal Hospital has a state-of-the-art therapy laser. Laser therapy is a non-invasive, drug, and surgery-free treatment that can decrease inflammation and pain and accelerate healing. It can treat various conditions, including wounds healing, soft tissue injuries, arthritis, neurological disorders, and many more! And did we mention cute eyewear? We offer affordable Laser Therapy packages for every budget.
How does Laser Therapy Work?
Laser therapy uses therapeutic light waves of a specific wavelength to cause photobiomodulation, or the alteration of cellular and tissue physiology. Light absorbed by cells stimulates and activates them to promote growth, replication, and cell repair. Laser therapy helps tissue repair by releasing endorphins, increasing blood flow, muscle relaxation, and faster healing. The main benefits of laser therapy include decreased inflammation and pain, and improved wound healing. A handpiece is passed over your pet’s injury. Depending on your pet’s condition, a contact or non-contact applicator will be used. There is no clipping or shaving of your pet’s fur.
PulseVet Shock Wave
What is PulseVet Shock Wave?
We are excited to announce that we are now offering shock wave therapy, a new, non-invasive treatment option to speed healing and reduce pain! Shock wave technology is a noninvasive, high-energy sound wave treatment commonly used in human and veterinary medicine.
It helps the body in relieving pain, speeding healing, and improving the quality of healing. PulseVet therapy requires no sedation, and is proven to help relieve pain, reduce lameness, and increase mobility in dogs and cats!
How does PulseVet Shock Wave work?
PulseVet Shock Wave Therapy uses high-energy sound waves to stimulate and speed the body’s own healing process. Energy released by the sound waves travels to the deeper soft tissues to the affected areas. This stimulates cells to release healing growth factors in the body that reduce inflammation, increase blood flow, accelerate bone formation, and enhance wound healing.
