New Website VetNearMeHouston.com Connects Pet Owners with Local Veterinary Care as Parasite Risks Rise Across the Region

HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--A new online resource, VetNearMeHouston.com, has launched to help pet owners quickly find trusted veterinary care across the Houston area, while raising awareness about the growing importance of year-round parasite prevention.

“Parasites like fleas, ticks, and heartworms aren’t just a nuisance - they can lead to serious, even life-threatening conditions,” said Dr. Heather Remark

As warmer weather and mild winters continue to extend flea, tick, and heartworm seasons, veterinarians are seeing increased risk for pets that go unprotected. Despite this, many pet owners remain unaware that parasite prevention is no longer seasonal, it’s essential all year long.

VetNearMeHouston.com was created to simplify the process of finding veterinary care, connecting pet owners with local hospitals that are accepting new clients and focused on preventive medicine.

“Parasites like fleas, ticks, and heartworms aren’t just a nuisance - they can lead to serious, even life-threatening conditions,” said Dr. Heather Remark, Regional Director of Medicine for Lakefield Veterinary Group. “We wanted to make it easier for pet owners to find care quickly and take a proactive approach to their pet’s health.”

The site allows users to:

  • Locate nearby veterinary hospitals in the Houston area
  • Identify clinics currently accepting new clients
  • Learn more about preventive care services, including flea, tick, and heartworm protection

Houston’s climate creates an ideal environment for parasites to thrive, making prevention a critical part of responsible pet ownership. Heartworm disease, transmitted by mosquitoes, can be fatal if left untreated, while fleas and ticks can spread a range of infections to both pets and humans.

By combining local access with education, VetNearMeHouston.com aims to remove common barriers to care and encourage pet owners to stay ahead of preventable health risks.

VetNearMeHouston.com is supported by a network of local veterinary hospitals committed to high-quality, accessible care.
