Heartworm is one of the “silent killers” of our loyal companions. It most commonly affects dogs, but cats can get them on some occasions. At the early stages of infestation, there are hardly any symptoms. This is why prevention and early detection are of great importance. Fortunately, our team can help keep your pet protected.

How do pets get heartworm?
Pets get heartworm through the bite of an infected mosquito. The mosquito introduces heartworm larvae into your pet’s bloodstream. Then, they mature into heartworms, reproduce, and spread through different parts of the body.
