Did You Know That:

Heartworms have been diagnosed in...

Cats, horses, dogs, jaguars, ferrets, tigers, foxes, monkeys, sea lions, & humans.

Heartworms are contracted when a mosquito with the heartworm bites your pet. The worms gather in the heart where they clog the arteries, eventually killing the animal. There are usually no physical signs until it's to late. Have your dog tested once a year for heartworms along with it's regular annual vaccines.
