Ain't no bugs on me

Here's a link to a Web page that will teach you probably more than you ever really wanted to know about parasites, those nasty little insects and microorganisms that can make your pets very sick.

The information is straight-forward and easy to understand for lay people like me, but certainly not dumbed-down on the medical terminology. Sometimes it's downright gross. It also offers suggestions on how to prevent the evil buggers from infecting your beloved four-leggers.

Do make sure to take your vet's advice on what medications to use.

Yeah, I hate paying that credit card bill with those hefty charges from 1-800-Pet-Meds as much as the next pet parent, but I sure don't want these potentially-killer critters doing harm to my pooches and kitties. Or the rest of my family for that matter.
