Heartworm drugs may give you a false sense of security. Here's what you need to know:

🐾 Mosquitoes are becoming resistant to heartworm meds, meaning dogs can still get heartworm despite treatment.

❗️ These drugs are wrongly marketed as “prevention” when they only target heartworm larvae. If the worms are already adults, the meds won’t help.

⚠️ Heartworm drugs are neurotoxic, leading to serious side effects like vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, and even neurological issues.

🔍 Instead of unnecessary meds, ask your vet for a microfilariae test to detect heartworms.

💪 A strong immune system and natural pest repellents can be enough to protect your dog. Plus, check heartworm prevalence in your area for peace of mind.

💜🐾 Every time rescue is asked to take an owner surrender- we have to somehow make room on our little raft for that dog. When an owner says stuff like “I don’t have time to give them the best life” or “I have to move” or “they have too much anxiety” it really falls flat because that means if we bring them on the raft, another dog out there in the freezing water gets to die.

Every day in rescue we adjudicate life and death by gate keeping who can get on the boat.

Rescues and shelters are the tiny rescue boats.

The ship is our community at large.

The iceberg is comprised of careless owners, backyard breeders, and a$$hats who won’t spay/neuter.
