"Heartworm disease is very complex and can affect many vital organs, including the heart, lungs, kidneys, and liver." -American Heartworm Society.
With the temperatures starting to get above freezing, it is the time of year to talk about Heartworms and Heartworm Prevention in your dogs.
The American Heartworm Society encourages dogs to be on prevention year round and to be tested annually at their yearly appointments. Heartworm prevention is the only way to prevent a dog from becoming heartworm positive. One single mosquito bite from an infected mosquito can be transferred to your dog if they are not on the appropriate prevention monthly.
Please take the time to read over the article from American Heartworm Society. It points out why prevention is important, the issues that happen to your dog if they were to become positive, and general questions that can be answered.
Thank you!!
