The treatment for (potentially fatal) Canine Heartworm Disease is long, arduous, and costly, requiring hospitalization and several months of recovery time. (There is NO approved treatment for Heartworm in Cats.)
But PREVENTION of Heartworm Disease is simple and inexpensive!
If you haven't been giving your dog (or cat) her monthly dose of Heartworm Preventative (year-round!), the first step is to have your Veterinarian give a simple blood test to ensure that there are no Heartworms currently present in her system. Once the blood test comes back negative, simply give a monthly dose of Heartworm Preventative (such as a Heartgard soft chew - Lucas thinks it's a treat!) to ensure that your pet is protected.
You can purchase Heartgard and other Heartworm Preventative products from your Veterinarian or one of many online discount pet medication suppliers (a prescription from your Vet is usually required) .
Please take this simple step to protect your pet from this painful and potentially fatal disease!
