Flooding, hurricanes, and other natural disasters cause upticks in heartworm disease
A staggering 250,000 pets were diagnosed with heartworm after Hurricane Katrina. Mosquitos were blown hundreds of miles infecting animals along the way.
Heartworm infection won’t show up on a test right away
After your pet is infected with heartworms, it can take over 5 months to test positive for heartworms. Take the necessary preventive measures to ensure your pet is not infected with heartworms.
Gone are the days of a few months of medication! Because mosquitos can strike any month in warmer climates, your pet needs heartworm prevention medication once per month, twelve months per year, for his or her entire life.
