April is Heartworm Awareness Month!!
Spring is here and many pet owners are already planning activities, vacations, and get-togethers where their pets can be part of the fun. Unfortunately, spring is also the time of year when pesky mosquitos return. Mosquitos are the culprit behind one of the most deadly diseases our pets can experience: heartworm. For pet owners who strive to not only provide their pets with fun in the sun but also ensure they are healthy for years to come, being aware of National Heartworm Awareness Month in April of each year is crucial.
While it may not be a typical celebration, National Heartworm Awareness Month is of primary importance to pet owners. Sharing awareness about this disease, having your pet tested, and introducing heartworm-preventative medications are the end goal. The true celebration happens every day when you know youβve done all you can do to help your beloved pet stay happier and healthier throughout its life. π»πΎ
