Imagine your dog confined to a small crate or kennel night
and day for four months or more: no longer able to jump, run or even play.
Imagine costly—and painful—treatment necessary to kill the dangerous heartworms
infecting your dog’s body. These could be the consequences of just one mosquito
bite. And, they could have been avoided with 2 injections of heartworm
preventative a year.
Anytime is
Mosquito Time
The American Heartworm Society
(AHS) reports that “with unpredictable weather patterns and the ability of
hardy mosquitoes to survive in protected areas—as well as indoors—it’s
difficult to predict when heartworms aren’t in season. And, once bitten,
symptoms often don’t become apparent until a dog is seriously ill—and some dogs
never exhibit symptoms before the disease is too far along to treat.” That’s
why the AHS recommends year-round heartworm protection for all dogs.
Not All Dogs
Take Their Medicine
You may think your dog is
protected. However, a recent Harris Poll found that of the dog owners surveyed
who provide a monthly oral heartworm disease preventative to their dogs, nearly
one quarter (23 percent) say their dogs do not always eat the entire tablet. Of
those owners, 20 percent reported finding unswallowed pills on the floor.
