Heartworm meds can give dog owners a false sense of security. 🚫
Here’s the truth most people don’t hear:
🐾 Mosquitoes are becoming resistant to heartworm drugs, so dogs can still get heartworm even if they’re on meds.
🐾 These drugs don’t prevent heartworm — they kill larvae already in your dog. And if the worms are adults? They won’t work.
🐾 They're neurotoxic — meaning they attack the nervous system. That’s why many dogs develop scary side effects like vomiting, seizures, tremors ... even death. 💔
Instead of giving your pup a toxic drug for something he probably doesn’t have, ask your vet for a microfilariae test to check for heartworms first.
Better yet? Support his immune system naturally and use safe, chemical-free pest repellents to keep those mosquitoes away. 🦟✨
And before you even worry about heartworm, check if it’s common in your area! You might find there’s no reason to panic at all.
