Dear Canyon Country clients,

 

April is National Heartworm Awareness Month. Heartworm is a serious infection that can be transmitted by mosquitoes and is easily prevented with a monthly heartworm pill.  We recommend giving your dog a heartworm pill every month all year long.  If your dog is not on a monthly heartworm pill 12 months of the year we recommend protecting your pet with monthly heartworm medication.  If your pet has not been on heartworm medication all year round, we recommend starting with a heartworm test!  Even when on monthly heartworm medication a heartworm test is recommended every two years.  Below is an article that can give you more information on this disease as well as answer any questions you may have.
