Wow! April is a busy month for pet days!
How many of you have your dogs tested for heartworm disease annually and give them preventative each month? Now come on, let's be honest. It's easy to forget, I know. But let's make it a point this month to really try to stay on track with our pet's preventative and to make an appointment if we need to update our pet's heartworm test. It only takes a quick call to your family veterinarian where they can perform the simple blood test right there at the clinic!
Click here to read some really informative information about heartworm disease, how it's spread, the life cycle, and how it's treated. There are some pretty amazing pictures of actual heartworm infestation as well. If your squeemish at stuff like that you may not want to go to the pictures page!
Here is the American Heartworm Society's website. Good stuff pet parents!
