🚫 Famous last words your pet should NEVER hear…
Heartworm disease is 100% preventable — but these common excuses can put your dog or cat at risk. From “missing just one dose won’t matter” to skipping their yearly test, it only takes one infected mosquito to change everything.
💊 Year-round prevention + annual testing = the best protection.
Don’t wait until it’s too late. Talk to your vet about keeping your pet safe 12 months a year! ❤️
