🐶🐱 Switch things up by swapping out your pet's food bowl for a puzzle feeder or trying new toys to keep things interesting. Head to an off-leash park to play fetch or enroll in obedience classes for some mental stimulation.

👉 Attention cat owners: currently, there is no approved treatment for heartworm disease in cats. Instead, management focuses on stabilizing the cat and closely monitoring their condition with frequent chest X-rays.

Steroids and antibiotics may be used to help address inflammation and the heartworm's Wolbachia infection. Unfortunately, the average survival time for heartworm-infected cats is only one and a half years.

Providing year-round heartworm prevention is an important part of your pet’s health care plan. If you would like to discuss the various preventives, contact our team at The Pony Express Veterinary Hospital by calling (937) 376-7669, so we can determine what protocol would best fit you and your pet’s lifestyle.
