What is Heartworm Prevention?
Heartworm prevention involves regular medication to protect dogs from heartworm disease, a life-threatening condition caused by parasitic worms in the heart and lungs.
Why Heartworm Prevention is Essential
Heartworms are transmitted by mosquitoes and can cause heart failure if untreated. Prevention is far safer and more affordable than treatment.
How to Prevent Heartworm Disease
Monthly heartworm preventatives, such as chewable tablets or topical treatments, are recommended. Annual veterinary testing ensures early detection.
