Heartworm season is once again upon us. Studies have shown that not only does your dog need preventatives against heartworm, but your cats need them as well. You may think just because your pet lives indoors it doesn't need a preventative. This is untrue, mosquito's come into your house and endanger your pets. Mosquito's are intermediate hosts of heartworm larvae. This means the heartworm needs the mosquito to move from one host to the next.
Heartworm disease if not treated can be deadly. The adult worms clog the heart and obstruct the lungs.
To help keep you pets safe this season keep them on year-round preventatives.
To find out more information about Heartworm preventatives, don't hesitate to ask our well informed staff, and veterinarians.
