The best defense against heartworm disease -- a sneaky, potentially life-threatening condition -- is prevention. All it takes is one bite from a carrier mosquito for your dog to become infected with larvae that eventually develop into organ-damaging heartworms. Protect your pet by first making sure he's free of heartworm disease with a test performed by your vet. Then, ask the vet to prescribe a preventive medication that's well suited to your dog. Most medications are given monthly for the duration of the mosquito season. If you live in an area where mosquitoes are a constant annoyance, heartworm-preventing medication must be given year-round. |
