Keep Fleas, Ticks, and Heartworm Off Your Pet and Off Your Mind

You notice your dog scratching again during your evening walk, or you pull a tick off your cat after a weekend hike. You know parasites can carry serious diseases, but finding the time and budget for a vet visit feels tough.

For many families in Washington, Oregon, and Idaho, traditional vet appointments can be hard to schedule around work, school, and life. Costs can add up quickly, especially if you have multiple pets to protect.

Good Neighbor Vet was created with that reality in mind. Our pop-up veterinary clinics bring affordable, high-quality preventive care to the places you already shop and visit. In just a quick 1.5-hour clinic window, your pet can see a licensed veterinarian, receive parasite prevention, and get back home feeling safe and protected.

Featured Focus: Flea, Tick, and Heartworm Prevention

Parasites are more than a nuisance. They can lead to skin infections, allergies, and serious illnesses that are far more expensive and stressful to treat than to prevent. At Good Neighbor Vet, flea, tick, and heartworm prevention are core services at our pop-up clinics.

Flea Prevention: Comfort and Health for Your Pet and Home

Fleas thrive in the Pacific Northwest climate and can live in your home long after you stop seeing them on your pet. A few bites can lead to intense itching, skin infections, and even anemia in severe cases.

At our pop-up clinics, licensed veterinarians perform a brief but thorough nose-to-tail exam and discuss the best flea prevention option for your dog or cat. We offer effective, veterinarian-recommended products that:

• Kill adult fleas and help break the life cycle
• Help reduce allergic reactions caused by flea bites
• Are dosed based on your pet’s weight, age, and health status

Many pet parents wonder how often to give flea prevention or if they should use it year-round. In our region, consistent prevention is usually recommended, even for indoor-only pets that can still be exposed through other animals or people. Our team will explain how often to give each product and how to stay on schedule.

Tick Prevention: Protection from Tick-Borne Disease

Ticks are becoming more common across Washington, Oregon, and Idaho. They can spread diseases such as Lyme disease and other infections that may cause joint pain, fever, and long-term health issues.

When you visit a Good Neighbor Vet pop-up clinic, we will:

• Check your pet’s skin and coat for visible ticks and irritation
• Recommend tick prevention that fits your pet’s lifestyle (for example, how often they hike, camp, or visit wooded areas)
• Show you how to check your pet for ticks after outdoor activities

Many families ask if their pet really needs tick prevention if they “mostly stay in the yard.” Wildlife such as squirrels, raccoons, and deer can bring ticks into your neighborhood, so prevention is often a safer choice than waiting until you find a tick attached.

Heartworm Prevention: Quiet Threat, Simple Protection

Heartworm disease is spread by mosquitoes and can cause serious, sometimes fatal, heart and lung problems in dogs and, more rarely, in cats. Because mosquitoes can be active in many seasons, heartworm prevention is an important part of year-round care.

At our clinics, we offer heartworm testing and prevention tailored to your pet. Our services include:

• Heartworm testing for dogs to check for existing infection before starting certain preventives
• Monthly heartworm prevention options that often protect against other internal parasites as well
• Guidance on how to give doses consistently and what to do if you miss a month

If you would like to learn more about how testing works, visit our dedicated page on heartworm testing services. Our veterinarians will walk you through when your pet should be tested and how often to stay safe.

Combined Parasite Prevention: Simple, Streamlined Care

Many of the products we recommend protect against more than one parasite at a time. This can mean fewer doses for you to remember and more complete protection for your pet.

During your visit, our team will consider your pet’s age, weight, lifestyle, and medical history. We will then recommend a prevention plan that may include:

• A single product that covers fleas, ticks, and some internal parasites
• A combination of products to ensure full coverage, including heartworm
• Clear written instructions so you can stay on track month after month

Because our focus is preventive care, we have time to answer your questions about side effects, safety for young puppies and kittens, and how to safely use prevention if your pet is on other medications.

Why Choose a Pop-Up Clinic for Preventive Care?

Pop-up clinics make it easier to keep up with essential preventive care without rearranging your entire week. Good Neighbor Vet partners with trusted community businesses to host 1.5-hour clinics where your pet can receive wellness exams, vaccinations, and parasite prevention in a familiar, low-stress setting.

Pets often feel calmer walking into a store or neighborhood location than a traditional clinic lobby. Shorter wait times and a simple, focused visit can be especially helpful for anxious pets, seniors, or young puppies and kittens experiencing the vet for the first time.

Our pricing model is designed to be affordable while still providing care from licensed veterinarians. If we find anything that needs more advanced diagnostics or treatment, we will refer you to a full-service veterinary hospital in your area. That way, you get accessible preventive care and clear guidance on when a traditional clinic visit is needed.

What to Expect and How to Prepare

When you arrive at a Good Neighbor Vet pop-up clinic, you will check in, share your pet’s history, and then meet with a licensed veterinarian for a focused wellness exam. We will review your pet’s lifestyle, discuss flea, tick, and heartworm risks in your area, and help you choose the right prevention plan.

To make your visit smoother, please bring:

• Any vaccination records or medical history you have (paper or digital)
• A list of current medications and supplements
• Your pet on a secure leash or in a carrier

If during the exam we find a concern that needs more extensive diagnostics or treatment than a pop-up clinic can provide, we will clearly explain next steps and refer you to a full-service veterinary hospital. You can also review our broader veterinary care services to see how our preventive model fits into your pet’s long-term health plan.
