For decades, PetWow has helped protect pets in Highland Heights, KY from the risks associated with parasites. Located just across from Northern Kentucky University, our clinic has been a trusted part of the community since 1971.
Parasites like fleas, ticks, and heartworms are not just a nuisance—they can lead to serious health problems if left untreated. Our team takes a proactive, practical approach to prevention so your pet stays protected year-round.
WHAT IS PARASITE PREVENTION?
Parasite prevention involves using medications and treatments to protect your pet from external and internal parasites. These parasites can cause discomfort, spread disease, and in some cases, lead to life-threatening conditions.
Preventative care is far easier—and significantly more affordable—than treating an active infestation or infection.
WHY YOUR PET NEEDS PARASITE PROTECTION
Your pet may be at risk for parasites if they:
• Spend time outdoors
• Visit parks, trails, or shared spaces
• Interact with other pets
• Are exposed to mosquitoes or wooded areas
• Live in or travel through Northern Kentucky
Even pets that stay mostly indoors can still be exposed to parasites brought in from outside.
TYPES OF PARASITE PREVENTION
At PetWow in Highland Heights, we focus on protecting pets from the most common and dangerous parasites in our area.
Flea Prevention
Fleas can cause intense itching, skin infections, and even infest your home. Prevention helps stop problems before they start.
Tick Prevention
Ticks are known to transmit diseases such as Lyme disease. Preventative treatment helps reduce your pet’s exposure.

Heartworms are transmitted through mosquito bites and can be life-threatening. Monthly prevention is the most effective way to protect your pet.
