FAQs
What is heartworm disease and how is it transmitted?
Heartworm disease is caused by parasitic worms transmitted through mosquito bites. These worms grow in the heart and lungs, causing severe damage. Preventative care is essential to avoid infection.
How often should my pet be tested for heartworms?
Annual testing is recommended for dogs and cats, even if your pet is on preventatives. Early detection helps ensure effective treatment if needed.
What types of heartworm preventatives are available?
There are several options including monthly oral tablets, topical treatments, and six-month injectable preventatives. Our vet team will help determine the best choice based on your pet’s health and lifestyle.
Can indoor pets get heartworm disease?
Yes. Mosquitoes can enter homes, so indoor pets are still at risk. Preventatives are recommended regardless of where your pet spends most of their time.
What should I do if my pet tests positive for heartworms?
If your pet tests positive, we’ll guide you through a treatment plan to eliminate the worms safely. Early treatment improves outcomes significantly, so timely testing is crucial.
