Heartworm Season

Heartworm Disease Prevention: Mosquito Season is All Year Long

Imagine your dog confined to a small crate or kennel night and day for four months or more: no longer able to jump, run or even play. Imagine the costly—and painful—treatment necessary to kill the dangerous heartworms infecting your dog’s body. These could be the consequences of just one mosquito bite. And they could have been avoided with one injection of heartworm preventative a year.

Anytime is Mosquito Time

The American Heartworm Society (AHS) reports that “with unpredictable weather patterns and the ability of hardy mosquitoes to survive in protected areas—as well as indoors—it’s difficult to predict when heartworms aren’t in season. And, once bitten, symptoms often don’t become apparent until a dog is seriously ill—and some dogs never exhibit symptoms before the disease is too far along to treat.” That’s why the AHS recommends year-round heartworm protection for all dogs.

Not All Dogs Take Their Medicine

You may think your dog is protected. However, a recent Harris Poll found that of the dog owners surveyed who provide a monthly oral heartworm preventative to their dogs, nearly one quarter (23 percent) say their dogs do not always eat the entire tablet. Of those owners, 20 percent reported finding unswallowed pills on the floor. 1
