Heartworm Prevention

Heartworm disease in dogs 

Heartworms are spread in the environment by a host mosquito that has bitten an infected animal. Successful heartworm prevention is established by administering a monthly heartworm preventative to your pet. Prevention is easy; simply give your pet a heartworm medication once a month – the treat-sized dose is available to test at our practice! It’s generally very palatable and many pets “beg” for it each month.

Many heartworm medications also prevent other parasites such as hookworms and roundworms, which may also be present in your pet’s body. Monthly Heartworm prevention will keep your pet and family safe from these parasites.

Discounts are available when you purchase a 12 month supply of Heartgard; (a heartworm preventative).

Why purchase a heartworm preventive from your veterinarian? If your pet is on monthly heartworm preventive and contracts the disease anyway, the manufacturer of the medication will pay for your pet’s treatment- it’s guaranteed! Internet pharmacies will not support or guarantee their products in this manner. Please speak with our Veterinary staff to help you protect your pet from heartworm disease, and give your pet a happy, healthy life!
