Protect your dog or cat from a range of serious disorders and diseases with routine pet vaccinations and parasite prevention from our Scottsdale veterinarians.
Protection & Prevention
At Scottsdale Ranch Animal Hospital, we want to prevent dangerous diseases, or catch them early if they do start to develop. That's why we focus on preventative care to keep common health conditions from developing into larger, longer-term health issues.
We combine dog and cat vaccinations and parasite prevention with regular routine exams to build the foundation of your pet's routine healthcare.
Preventative care affords your pet the best chance at a long, healthy life. Our team will work with you to create a custom preventative care plan for your dog or cat, geared to their specific needs.

Parasite Prevention
Parasites pose a serious health risk to people and animals in Scottsdale. Left untreated, parasites can threaten your cat or dog's life, and in some cases may even be transmitted to other pets or people living in your household. Our parasite prevention products can help protect your pet from these common parasites:
Heartworm
Spread through mosquito bites, this is a small parasitic roundworm.
Ticks
Ticks are external parasites that feed on mammals' blood and can cause disease.
Ear Mites
Contagious ear mites are tiny parasites that live in mammals' ear canals.
Fleas
These tiny, wingless external parasites thrive on the blood of mammals and birds.
