Ticks, mosquitoes, heartworm — whose desk?

“Pet parasite prevention” sounds like one topic. It's really three owners — your vet, your yard, and your own two hands. We route each question to the desk that actually owns it, even when the honest answer is “not us.”

The honest spread

Most of these 51 questions belong to your vet, not to us.

A pest company isn't the right answer to all of them. Here's how the 51 split — and the one lane we genuinely own.

23 belong to the vet — not us · 7 to the yard (our lane) · 10 to your hands · 11 to both.

The yard is the one lane we actually own. Tick habitat and mosquito breeding-source work is genuinely ours — the 7 yard questions are where Anchor can help. The rest, we'll point you to the right desk.
