🐶 Did you know that heartworms thrive in the heart and lungs of infected dogs?

😔 When a mosquito bites an infected dog, they ingest heartworm larvae, which mature inside the mosquito and are then deposited in the next pet the insect bites. The larvae then travel through the bite wound and mature in the pet's heart and lungs. Dogs are natural hosts for heartworms, and the larvae can grow into adulthood and cause serious health issues.

Cats have a low-maintenance reputation, but indoor cats are completely dependent on their environment for stimulation, exercise, and comfort.
