April is National Heartworm Awareness Month 🐾❤️
Here at Halo Animal Hospital, we want to help keep your pets safe from this serious, but preventable, disease.
Heartworm disease is spread through mosquito bites, meaning any pet, whether indoor or outdoor can be at risk. Once infected, heartworms live in the heart, lungs, and blood vessels, causing damage that can lead to coughing, fatigue, difficulty breathing, and even heart failure. Treatment can be costly and tough on your pet, which is why prevention is always the best option.
The good news? Protecting your pet is simple!
We carry trusted, vet-recommended preventions including:
🐶 Simparica Trio
🐶 NexGard Plus
🐶 Heartgard Plus
🐶 ProHeart 12
These monthly preventions not only protect against heartworms but can also help cover other parasites, depending on the product.
Heartworm prevention should be given year-round, especially here in Florida where mosquitoes never really go away!
If your pet needs a refill, a heartworm test, or you’re not sure which prevention is best, our team is happy to help.❤️
Call or email us today to stay on track with your pet’s protection.
