April is National Heartworm Awareness Month, and prevention is one of the easiest ways to protect your pet’s health. 🦟🐶
Heartworm disease is spread by mosquitoes and it only takes one bite to infect a pet. Unfortunately, the signs can be subtle at first, which is why prevention and yearly testing are so important.
A few important reminders:
• Heartworms are transmitted through mosquito bites
• Early symptoms can be mild or even unnoticed
• Year-round prevention keeps your pet protected
• Annual testing helps ensure prevention is working
Don’t skip prevention. If your pet needs a refill or heartworm test, Gray County Team is here to help.
