Did you know that the month of April is Heartworm Month? April may be over, but the risk of heartworm disease is always present. Learn with Dr. Ware about the life stages of heartworm disease and how to prevent it.
Because pets that have heartworms may not show symptoms right away, your veterinarian may test your pet before prescribing heartworm preventive, and then yearly, to make sure the pet is not infected. Dogs are tested for heartworm using a simple blood test.
