What is Heartworm Disease?

Heartworm is a parasitic disease that is spread to an animal through the bites of a mosquito. Once a dog gets heartworm disease, the worms will grow in the dog causing a variety of serious problems. Heartworms can cause clots in the lungs of your dog and ultimately cause heart failure. Heartworms can also cause liver or kidney failure. Symptoms are generally classified in three levels ranging from no symptoms at all to a mild cough, and then to an intolerance to exercise.

While heartworm disease is more prevalent in tropical and subtropical clients, it has been found in pets in all fifty states. The good news is that this serious condition is preventable.

Prevention and Treatment of Heartworm Disease

Proven pet heartworm medicine like moxidectin can give your pet protection against heartworm disease. While moxidectin can be administered in several ways, at All Friends Veterinary Hospital, we encourage ProHeart® 6, a 6-month heartworm disease prevention program that involves a simple injection twice a year. With ProHeart® 6, there are no monthly treatments to worry about. It is pet heartworm medicine that gives you the peace of mind knowing your dog has full, 6-month heartworm disease prevention administered by the professionals at All Friends Veterinary Hospital.

Testimonial

  • "I can not say enough about these wonderful people. Dr. Reda is the most compassionate veterinarian I have ever met. My beloved dog passed from cancer, but they were there every step of the way with any questions or concerns, even when they were oh vacation and I was totally distraught about it, they made sure to address my concerns and never made me feel like I was crazy. There should be more people like Dr. Reda and his staff in this business. I am forever grateful for all of you."

  • "I had such a good experience when I brought in a feral cat family during a TNR mission that I returned a month later when I adopted two of the kittens. Dr. Reda is simply a wonderful veterinarian. I appreciate his well-informed, holistic approach to treatment. He & his staff take the time to give me plenty of information and answer all my questions, while doing everything they can to minimize any distress and discomfort my cats experienced during the visit. In short, if you are looking for a vet that is highly knowledgeable, accessible, and compassionate, I cannot recommend All Friends highly enough."
