Parasite & Heartworm Prevention in Boulder
Expert parasite & heartworm prevention in Boulder. Licensed, insured, upfront pricing.
Every pet’s risk is different, so Pearl Street Animal Hospital builds vaccine and prevention schedules around how your pet actually lives — a trail dog out on the local greenway every weekend needs a different plan than an indoor-only cat. Core vaccines are never skipped, but which lifestyle vaccines, and how often, comes from a real conversation about where your pet goes and what it’s exposed to. Flea, tick, and heartworm prevention is matched to the local season length, not a generic national chart.

What To Expect
How the visit goes
A lifestyle conversation
Where does your pet go — trails, dog parks, boarding, a strictly indoor apartment? That answer shapes the plan more than a standard chart does.
Core vaccines, confirmed
We check what’s due against your pet’s record and bring anything lapsed current, explaining each one as we go.
Prevention matched to risk
Flea, tick, and heartworm prevention recommended for how your pet actually lives, not a one-size-fits-all bundle.
Your updated record
You leave with an updated, written vaccine record — ready for boarding, daycare, or a groomer to ask for.

Questions
Questions about parasite & heartworm prevention
How much does a visit cost?
The exam fee is quoted when you book, and anything beyond the exam — labs, imaging, treatment — comes as a written estimate you approve before we proceed. You will never learn a price for the first time at checkout.
My pet is terrified of the vet. How do you handle that?
This is exactly what our Fear Free certification is for. We schedule longer appointments, use treats and non-slip surfaces, offer feline-only morning blocks with a quiet lobby, and will prescribe pre-visit calming medication when it helps. Many of our most relaxed patients arrived as shaking rescues.
Can you get records from my previous vet?
Yes — with your okay we request them before your first appointment, so your first visit starts from your pet’s full history instead of a blank chart. We don’t re-run tests you’ve already paid for unless something has changed.
