Heartworm prevention is essential.
Heartworm is a worm that lives within the dog's heart and is spread by mosquitoes. It is now be found in all parts of Australia.
Heart worm is potentially fatal and can be difficult to treat.
A heartworm prevention program should be initiated from the time of your pet's first vaccination.
Your vet will advise the most suitable method of heartworm prevention based on your pet's unique circumstances.
Heartworm preventative injections at time of vaccination are a safe, effective method of heartworm control that ensures protection.
If you miss any heartworm treatment(s), please contact the clinic for advice on restarting your program.
If your pet is not currently receiving heartworm treatment, please contact us.
