Heartworm Treatment Capacity Doubles At Emancipet!! 🐾

Emancipet, the nation’s leading nonprofit provider of affordable and accessible veterinary healthcare is expanding its heartworm treatment services in Houston. Starting this month, Emancipet will now offer heartworm treatment at its Monroe Clinic, in addition to its existing services at the Wayside Clinic. This expansion will double the number of dogs served with heartworm treatment annually in Houston, ensuring that more pets receive the life-saving care they need.
Heartworm disease is a life-threatening condition caused by a parasite spread through mosquito bites. Left untreated, it can lead to severe lung disease, heart failure, and organ damage in dogs. With treatment costs starting at $225, Emancipet continues to provide an affordable solution for pet owners facing this challenging diagnosis.

For more information on Emancipet’s heartworm treatment services, visit Emancipet.org/services/heartworm-treatment/. To schedule an evaluation appointment, call 713-321-2713.
