Heartworm and Mosquitoes

Heartworm prevention should not end with mosquito season

Over time, the larvae become heartworms, which can reach sizes up to 14″ in length.  Heartworms can live inside their hosts for up to seven years.  Heartworm disease (dirofilariasis) is eventually fatal if left untreated.  Even cases that are diagnosed and treated, can leave your pet with lifelong effects, including heart  failure.  Prevention is key.
