The Ugly Truth About Heartworm Disease

Heartworms are exactly what they sound like—long, parasitic worms that invade your pet’s heart, lungs, and blood vessels. Here’s what they do once inside your dog:

Block Blood Flow – Adult heartworms can grow up to a foot long, clogging arteries and causing severe damage to the heart and lungs.

😫 Cause Painful Symptoms – Coughing, fatigue, weight loss, and difficulty breathing are common signs, but some dogs show no symptoms until it’s too late.

💔 Lead to Heart Failure – As worms multiply, they weaken the heart, leading to organ damage, collapse, and even sudden death.

💲 Costly & Risky Treatment – Treating heartworm disease is expensive, painful, and requires months of strict rest. Some dogs may not survive treatment.

The good news? It’s 100% preventable. A simple monthly medication can save your dog’s life. Don’t take the risk—protect your pet year-round. Call us to learn more!
