🌸 April is Heartworm Awareness Month! 🌸

As the flowers bloom and the weather warms up, it’s the perfect time to remind everyone about the importance of protecting your furry friends from heartworm disease.

Heartworm disease is a serious and potentially fatal condition cause by parasitic worms that are transmitted through mosquitoe bites. This makes all pets susceptible, regardless of age and breed.

Prevention is key! By keeping your pets on a monthly heartworm prevention, you can help safeguard them against this preventable disease. Regular testing is also crucial, as early detection can lead to more effective treatment.

Spread the word and show your love for your pets by keeping them happy, healthy and heartworm-free! 🪱

If you have any question or concerns about heartworm prevention or testing, don’t hesitate to contact us.
