Have you every wondered how dogs and cats get heartworms?
The mosquito plays an essential role in the heartworm life cycle. Adult female heartworms living in an infected dog, fox, coyote, or wolf produce microscopic baby worms called microfilaria that circulate in the bloodstream. When a mosquito bites and takes a blood meal from an infected animal, it picks up these baby worms, which develop and mature into “infective stage” larvae over a period of 10 to 14 days. Then, when the infected mosquito bites another dog, cat, or susceptible wild animal, the infective larvae are deposited onto the surface of the animal's skin and enter the new host through the mosquito’s bite wound. Once inside a new host, it takes approximately 6 months for the larvae to develop into sexually mature adult heartworms. Once mature, heartworms can live for 5 to 7 years in dogs and up to 2 or 3 years in cats. Because of the longevity of these worms, each mosquito season can lead to an increasing number of worms in an infected pet.

This week is National Dog Bite Prevention Week!

04/07/2024

April 7-13th is National Dog Bite Prevention Week. Any dog can bite if provoked. They can bite as a reaction to something, if they’re startled, are scared, aren’t feeling well, or are engaged in play. Socialization and education are keys to dog bite prevention. Find out more about why dogs bite and what you can do to prevent dog bites here:

Any dog can bite—big or small, male or female, young or old. It’s not a dog's breed that determines whether it will bite, but rather the dog's individual history and behavior.

This ingredient is often found in sugar-free chewing gums, candies, toothpaste and more. The amount of xylitol in these products can vary, but even the ingestion of a small amount of xylitol can cause severely low blood sugar, seizures or liver injury.
