Question: Hi We recently purchased heartworm preventative (
Heartguard) from you for dogs up to 50 lbs based
on our vets prescription.
«Dogs are infected with heartworms by mosquitoes, but it takes a long time for heartworm larvae to mature into adult, reproducing worms that can strangle the heart,» says Jennifer Miller, President of FOTAS, «so heartworm disease in a healthy, young dog is treatable with a course of antibiotics, which weakens any maturing worms, followed by monthly heartworm prevention medicine, like
Heartguard, which every dog in the South should be
on anyway.»
Worms can come from fleas and ticks as well, so besides monthly
Heartguard all dogs should be treated with a product like frontline plus
on a once a month basis.
