A startling 1 to 3 MILLION PEOPLE are infected with zoonotic parasites in the U.S. every year!
Zoonosis is any disease or parasite that can be transmitted from animals to humans. Anthrax, E coli, rabies, salmonella and mad cow disease are all examples of commonly-known zoonotic conditions.

Tips for protecting your family from zoonotic infection: • Use a broad-spectrum heartworm product that also protects year-round against zoonotic parasites. • Promptly collect animal feces in your environment and dispose of them. • Instruct children to wash their hands often – and properly! • Always wear shoes when outside. • Make unprotected sandboxes off-limits to pets and children. • The veterinarians of Cimarron Animal Hospital keeps your pets healthy, so you can be sure your whole family is healthy and happy!
