What is heart worm?
Heartworm is a fatal disease for dogs. It is a parasitic disease involving the larva of the heartworm being transmitted via mosquito bites. Via the blood, the larva travel to your dog’s heart where they become adult heartworms. It only takes one Mozzy bite for your dog to be infected!
How do I prevent my dogs from getting Heartworm?
- There are many oral and topical products which include heartworm prevention. We also offer a yearly injection which offers year long protection for your pets which they can have at the time of the normal annual vaccinations.
How do I find out if my dog has heart worm?
- If you have not been giving your dog prevention, we can do a simple and easy blood test inhouse which takes 10min to run.
What happens if my dog has heart worm?
- Heart worm is treatable, but it is a risky, expensive and long process as treatment takes about 3-4 months. That's why we say prevention is the best medicine!
What are the symptoms of heart worm?
Many animals do not show symptoms for quite a long time after infection. It usually takes a severe infestation of heartworm for a dog to show symptoms. These can include:
- Lethargy
- Exercise intolerant
- Coughing
- Weight loss
FUN FACT - Did you know only female mosquitoes bite?

As the preg testing season is coming upon us, this is the time to find who is producing in your herd!
The benefits of pregnancy testing far out way the costs when you look at the costs involved in running empty cows and heifers on your property. The other benefit of veterinary pregnancy testing is that if we are finding an abnormally high number of empty cows, we are able to test for a number of diseases or test the bull to determine the reasons behind the low conception rate.
