Preventing internal & external parasites is easy and extremely safe! In Santa Barbara, flea, tick, and mosquito season is all year round, which is why we recommend keeping your pet on a monthly preventative. Not only do preventatives protect your pet - they also keep pests out of your home! At La Cumbre Animal Hospital, we offer an array of options to fit you & your pet's lifestyle. Take a look!
