At Ann Arbor Animal Hospital, we know how much you love your pets, and we want to make sure they stay happy, healthy, and safe. One of the most important aspects of pet health is heartworm prevention. ❤️
What Are Heartworms?
Heartworms are dangerous parasites that live in your pet’s heart and lungs. They can cause serious health issues like heart failure, lung disease, and even death. Because they are transmitted through mosquito bites, it is crucial to protect your pet year-round.
Why is Heartworm Protection So Important?
🐾 Prevention is Easier (and Cheaper!) then the treatment. Treating heartworm disease is expensive, lengthy, and not consistently successful. Prevention is as simple as a monthly pill or topical treatment, and much more affordable.
❤️ Long-term Health: Heartworms can cause irreversible damage to your pet’s heart and lungs, affecting their overall health. Protecting them now ensures a happier, healthier future.
🦟 Mosquitoes are Everywhere: Even indoor pets can be exposed to mosquitoes. It’s crucial to keep your pet protected no matter where they spend their time.
How We Can Help:
Ann Arbor Animal Hospital offers heartworm prevention options tailored to your pet’s needs, including:
• Monthly oral medications
• Monthly topical treatments
