We Take Your Pet's Health Seriously
|
In an effort to better protect your dog we are recommending yearly 4 in 1 heartworm/tick testing as a preventative measure to keep him/her healthy. Annual testing is necessary, even when dogs are on heartworm and flea/tick prevention year-round, to ensure that the prevention program is working. These medications are highly effective, but dogs can still become infected. If you miss just one dose of a monthly medication—or give it late—it can leave your dog unprotected. Even if you give the medications as directed there is the possibility of vomiting or spitting out a pill or rubbing off the fully effective dose of a topical medication. Heartworm preventatives are highly effective, but not 100% effective. If we don’t test, you won’t know if your dog needs treatment.

Early Signs of Heartworm Disease in Dogs
It would be great news for pets and people if heartworm symptoms were always obvious, but the truth is they are generally invisible or unnoticeable. The development of heartworm disease is insidious until the overt clinical signs occur, and by then the disease has already affected your dog’s heart and lungs. Your dog could appear 100% healthy while the parasites are quietly making themselves right at home.
