Heartworm disease is very real. The effects of heartworm disease on pets can be devastating and deadly.
The American Heartworm Society recommends providing your pets with 12 months of heartworm preventative. Prevention is safe and rebates are available with bulk purchases. We understand that price can be a factor in not choosing to purchase heartworm prevention, but it is important. Treating heartworm in positive pets is more expensive and difficult for pets that MUST have cage rest during their treatment periods.
Testing for heartworm disease is quick and available in our clinic. We are happy to provide this service for your pets and encourage this test to be performed annually to screen for heartworm disease. Our tests also screen for tick borne illnesses as well in our canine patients, and common feline viruses in our feline patients.
Please don't underestimate the danger of heartworm infection. We are here to answer any questions you have about heartworm disease and prevention! We don't always have time during the day to check our Facebook messages so please direct any questions to our office! Text or phone call! We love your pets and wish them happy and healthy lives, and want you, our clients, to have as much quality time with your pets as possible!
