The Ontario SPCA says, "As many pet owners know, the spring marks the time for annual vaccinations, veterinary check-ups and reviewing your pet’s heartworm and flea/tick prevention program. We know that heartworm prevention is critical to your pet’s health, but many owners don’t fully understand what it is, why it is dangerous and how to prevent it. The AVMA recognizes April as National Heartworm Month to help raise awareness about heartworm.
Heartworm is a disease that can be fatal if left untreated. It is spread by an infected mosquito who bites the dog, an after exposure it takes approximately seven months for the larvae to mature into adult heartworms. They reproduce in the lungs, heart and blood vessels, and have a substantial life span of 5-7 years.
Signs of heartworm can include coughing and your pet becoming increasingly winded by exercise. Lack of oxygen will cause a decrease of blood supply to the brain, becoming fatal.
Thanks to simple and inexpensive preventative medication, heartworm is easily preventable. This can include a chewable tablet or topical liquid that is administered once a month (or as directed by your veterinarian)."
