April is a month dedicated to raising awareness about heartworm disease in pets. Heartworm disease is a serious and potentially fatal condition that is transmitted through the bite of an infected mosquito. It primarily affects dogs, but can also affect cats and other animals.

Warmer weather signals the arrival of mosquito season, a time when these pesky insects thrive and pose a risk to our furry friends.

But how exactly does this happen? When a mosquito carrying heartworm larvae bites a dog, it transfers these tiny parasites into the dog's bloodstream. Over time, these larvae grow into adult worms that can cause serious harm to the heart, lungs, and blood vessels of the infected dog.

The good news is that heartworm disease is preventable! By staying proactive and ensuring your dog is on a regular heartworm prevention regimen, you can greatly reduce the risk of infection.
Make sure to consult with us about the best prevention
options for your furry companion during your next visit.

Remember, a little prevention today can save your dog from a lot of heartache tomorrow. Keep your dog healthy and heartworm-free!

Here at Auburn Veterinary Service, we strive to give the best care possible. That is why we have started a "Share the Care" program! Share your good experiences with your family and friends by picking up a few of these cards to give them. When they become new clients and bring the card they received from you into the clinic, you EACH will receive a $20 professional service credit which will be applied to your account! There is no limit on how many credits a referring client can receive. Just make sure to write your name on the back of the card before you hand them out so we will know who to give the credit to!

We want to thank each and every one of you for your continued support through the years, and we are excited to keep providing the best care to your furry friends.
