April is Heartworm Awareness Month! Do you know how heartworms are transmitted?
Texas is in the top 10 for heartworm disease in the nation.

• What is Heartworm Disease?
Heartworm disease is a serious condition in dogs, cats, and other animals caused by parasitic worms that live in the heart, lungs, and associated blood vessels.
• Transmission:
Heartworms are transmitted to pets through the bite of an infected mosquito.
• Prevention is Key:
The best way to protect your pet from heartworm disease is through monthly preventative medications, which are available in oral or topical forms.
• Symptoms:
Symptoms of heartworm disease can include coughing, difficulty breathing, fatigue, decreased appetite, and weight loss.
• Testing:
It's important to get your pet tested for heartworm annually, even if they are on preventative medication, to ensure the medication is effective.

Let’s keep our pets healthy and heartworm-free! Give us a call today at 281-481-5900 to talk about your options — because protecting those we love is always worth it. 🐶🐱❤️🐾
