Heartworm prevention isn’t optional—it’s essential!

Did you know there is no approved treatment for heartworm disease in cats? That’s why prevention is the only way to keep them safe. For dogs, treatment is costly and risky, but prevention is safe, easy, and affordable with monthly preventatives or an annual injection.

Protect your pet before heartworms become a problem.

The 7 Stages of Heartworm Disease: How It Spreads 🦟💔

Heartworm disease doesn’t happen overnight—it follows a dangerous cycle. Here’s how it spreads from one dog to another:

1️⃣ Microfilariae – Tiny larvae circulate in an infected dog’s bloodstream.
2️⃣ Mosquito Bite – A mosquito bites the infected dog and ingests the larvae.
3️⃣ Infective Larvae – The larvae develop inside the mosquito.
4️⃣ Bite Wound – The mosquito bites a new dog, passing on the larvae.
5️⃣ Mature Heartworms – The larvae grow into adult heartworms inside the dog.
6️⃣ Mating – Adult heartworms reproduce, creating more microfilariae.
7️⃣ Repeat – Another mosquito picks up the microfilariae, starting the cycle again.

The best way to stop this cycle? Year-round heartworm prevention!
