Keep Your Pet Protected Without the Stress of a Traditional Vet Visit

Your dog loves the trail, the dog park, and every muddy puddle in between. Your cat insists on sunbathing in that one window where mosquitos always seem to find their way in. You know they need protection from fleas, ticks, and heartworm, but finding the time and budget for a full clinic visit can feel overwhelming.

Many pet parents across Washington, Oregon, and Idaho face the same challenge. Preventive care is essential, yet busy schedules, transportation, and rising costs can make regular vet visits difficult.

Good Neighbor Vet was created for exactly these moments. Our pop-up veterinary clinics bring affordable, high-quality preventive care straight into your neighborhood, so your pet can get the protection they need in about 1.5 hours or less, without the stress of a traditional clinic setting.

Featured Focus: Flea, Tick, and Heartworm Prevention

Parasites are more than a nuisance. In the Pacific Northwest, our mild, damp climate gives fleas and ticks a long season to thrive, and heartworm-carrying mosquitos are an increasing concern. Good Neighbor Vet’s pop-up clinics make it simple to keep your pet protected with veterinarian-recommended prevention tailored to their lifestyle.

Flea Prevention: Stopping Itchy Pests Before They Spread

Fleas can cause intense itching, skin infections, and allergic reactions. They also multiply quickly, spreading from your pet to your home in a matter of days. At our pop-up clinics, our licensed veterinarians:

• Perform a quick but thorough skin and coat check for signs of fleas and flea dirt
• Recommend effective monthly flea prevention based on your pet’s age, weight, and health
• Provide guidance on treating the home environment if fleas are already present

We use prevention products that are vet-approved, easy to give, and designed to protect your pet consistently when used as directed. Regular use helps break the flea life cycle instead of chasing infestations after they happen.

Tick Prevention: Protecting Against Hidden Outdoor Risks

Ticks are active in wooded areas, tall grass, and even neighborhood parks. They can transmit serious illnesses to dogs and sometimes cats. During your pet’s visit, our team will:

• Check common tick “hiding spots” such as ears, armpits, and around the tail
• Recommend tick prevention that fits your pet’s outdoor exposure and lifestyle
• Review how to safely check your pet for ticks after hikes or outdoor play

Prevention is especially important for adventurous dogs who love hiking, camping, or visiting off-leash areas. Consistent tick control significantly reduces the risk of tick-borne disease.

Heartworm Prevention: Quiet Protection Against a Serious Disease

Heartworm disease is spread by mosquitos and can cause severe heart and lung damage in dogs and, less commonly, in cats. It is difficult and costly to treat, but very straightforward to prevent. At Good Neighbor Vet pop-up clinics, we offer:

• Heartworm testing for dogs when needed before starting certain preventives
• Monthly prescription heartworm prevention options
• Education on why year-round protection matters, even in cooler months

Early prevention is safer and far less expensive than treatment for advanced heartworm disease. Our veterinarians will walk you through timing, dosing, and how to stay on schedule so your pet’s protection never lapses.

What to Expect From Your Pet’s Preventive Visit

Every Good Neighbor Vet pop-up visit centers on practical, preventive care. During your flea, tick, and heartworm prevention appointment, you can expect:

• A nose-to-tail wellness check by a licensed veterinarian
• Weight check to ensure accurate dosing for preventive medications
• Review of your pet’s medical and vaccination history, when available
• Personalized recommendations for parasite prevention based on age, lifestyle, and health

If our team identifies concerns that require diagnostics, imaging, or advanced treatment, we will refer you to a trusted full-service veterinary clinic in your area. Our role is to keep pets as healthy as possible through preventive care and to help you know when more in-depth care is needed.

Why Choose Pop-Up Clinic Care for Parasite Prevention?

Pop-up clinics offer a different kind of veterinary experience that many pets and people prefer. Instead of navigating crowded waiting rooms, you can visit a convenient neighborhood location where care is focused, efficient, and friendly.

Many pets are less anxious in these settings. Shorter wait times, a more casual environment, and quick in-and-out visits help nervous dogs and cats feel more at ease. For you, that means fewer struggles getting them out of the car and a smoother overall experience.

Good Neighbor Vet is committed to affordability. By focusing on preventive services such as wellness exams, vaccinations, and parasite prevention, we keep costs accessible without sacrificing quality. Each clinic is staffed by licensed veterinarians and trained support team members who are passionate about community-based care. When a pet needs more advanced diagnostics or treatment than we can provide in a 1.5-hour pop-up, we will guide you to an appropriate full-service practice for follow-up.
