FLEA CONTROL AND HEART WORM PREVENTION

This should be all year round for both canines and felines. Heart worm disease comes from mosquito and is treatable but expensive for dogs however for cats it is fatal.

Only by the bite of an infected mosquito. There’s no other way dogs get heartworms. And there’s no way to tell if a mosquito is infected. That’s why prevention is so important.

Heartworm disease has been reported in all 50 states. And the bite of just one mosquito infected with the heartworm larvae will give your dog heartworm disease.

It takes about seven months, once a dog is bitten by an infected mosquito, for the larvae to mature into adult heartworms. They then lodge in the heart, lungs, and surrounding blood vessels and begin reproducing. Adult worms can grow up to 12 inches in length, can live 5-7 years, and a dog can have as many as 250 worms in its system.

Best prevention is to see your vet also I have found these products work with most breeds - ProHeart6, Trifexis, Confortis
