Our Parasitology Protects Your Pet from Silent Invaders
Parasites are more than just a nuisance; they are a significant threat to the long-term health and comfort of pets in Karachi’s tropical climate. At Animal Medical Centre, our Parasitology Services focus on the scientific detection and elimination of both external and internal organisms that prey on your pet’s vitality. From microscopic intestinal worms to blood-sucking insects like ticks and fleas, these invaders can cause everything from skin infections and malnutrition to life-threatening systemic diseases like Ehrlichia or Anaplasmosis. Our laboratory utilizes advanced diagnostic techniques to identify the specific parasites affecting your pet, ensuring they receive the most effective, targeted treatment possible.
We specialize in a multi-layered approach to parasite control. Our internal screenings include fecal examinations to detect eggs and larvae of roundworms, hookworms, and tapeworms, which are often picked up from contaminated soil or prey. Externally, we provide comprehensive screenings and preventative plans for ticks and fleas, which are the primary carriers of blood-borne pathogens in our region. By combining these diagnostics with medical-grade preventatives, we create a protective shield around your pet, preventing the cycle of re-infection that is so common in multi-pet environments or outdoor-access animals.
The importance of parasitology extends beyond your pet’s health to the safety of your entire family. Many common pet parasites are zoonotic, meaning they can be transmitted to humans, especially children and the elderly. Our team prioritizes early detection and owner education to break these transmission cycles, ensuring your home remains a safe and healthy environment for everyone. Through routine seasonal testing and year-round preventative care, we help you stay ahead of infestations before they become clinical emergencies. Whether your pet requires a simple deworming protocol or intensive treatment for a tick-borne illness, our clinicians utilize the latest evidence-based protocols to restore your pet’s health. At Animal Medical Centre, we are dedicated to keeping your companions parasite-free, active, and happy throughout every season of the year.
