Heartworm Control for Pets
Heartworm Control
Heartworm is spread by mosquitoes, so even dogs that spend most of their time indoors can still be at risk. There is no reliable way to prevent exposure other than consistent heartworm prevention. Protection can be provided through regular monthly products or a long-acting annual injection.
At Bronsons Vet, we highly recommend the annual injection as it provides continuous protection without the risk of missed monthly doses.
Heartworm Prevention for Dogs
Dogs can develop adult heartworms that live in the heart and major blood vessels. Over time, infection can cause damage to the heart, lungs and other organs.
There are a number of heartworm prevention options available, including regular oral or topical treatments and longer-acting injections. Our team can recommend the most appropriate option based on your dog's age, health and lifestyle.
Heartworm Prevention for Cats
Cats can also be affected by heartworm, although the disease can present differently from dogs. Prevention can be particularly important for cats in areas where mosquitoes and heartworm are present.
Staying Protected
The best way to protect your pet is to keep their heartworm prevention up to date. Missing doses can leave your pet unprotected, so we can help you choose a prevention plan that fits easily into your routine.
If your pet's heartworm prevention has lapsed or you're unsure when their next treatment is due, speak with our team before restarting treatment. We can assess your pet and recommend the appropriate next step.
