Heartworm disease is preventable, but it can be life-threatening if left untreated.
Heartworms are spread through mosquito bites and can damage the heart, lungs, and blood vessels of both dogs and cats. Many pets show few signs early on, which is why routine testing and year-round prevention are so important.
At Berkley Pet Hospital, we strongly recommend:
✔️ Annual heartworm testing
✔️ Monthly heartworm prevention
✔️ Early detection and treatment when needed
Protecting your pet today can prevent serious complications tomorrow.
If you have questions about heartworm prevention or would like to schedule your pet's annual screening, give us a call at (818) 763-6221.
❤️ Prevention is always easier, safer, and less expensive than treatment.
