A core philosophy at Lombard Veterinary Hospital is that we prefer to recommend strategies to prevent disease whenever possible, rather than just treating conditions as they arise. We want to do everything possible to improve your pet’s quality of life as well as decrease the risk of animal-borne disease transmission to people. For these reasons, our entire team strives to achieve 100% client compliance in parasite prevention. In order for us to successfully protect your pet from parasites, including flea infestation in the home, all dogs and cats must be treated throughout the year. Our goal is to be completely parasite free!
