SPREADING AWARENESS: This is key. Adult heartworms actually live in the heart and cause heart damage and failure over time. Many people treat their pets for fleas (because we can see them) and not heartworms. Both of these parasites can cause harm to your pet, but heartworms are the silent killer.
We have diagnosed too many pets this year. Remember, even if your pet is mostly indoors, heartworms are spread by mosquitos which can get in the house. Our winters are getting warmer and warmer, and mosquitoes are getting worse and worse. PLEASE keep your pet on heartworm prevention year-round. ❤️
How DOES heartworm disease happen? Hint: mosquitoes are THE key player. http://bit.ly/341dKjw
