Heartworm disease? Is your dog adequately protected?
We all know how important tick prevention is for our dogs but what about heartworm disease? Is your dog adequately protected?
Heartworm in dogs is a potentially fatal disease that is transmitted from infected to uninfected dogs by mosquitoes. These mosquitoes inject a number of tiny worms (microfilaria) into the dog’s body which then mature into adult heartworm over about 6 months. These adult worms settle inside the chambers of the heart and interfere with the flow of blood. Adult heartworm infection causes heart failure which can result in serious illness and death. Heartworm disease is very difficult and expensive to treat so prevention is much better than cure!
Why vaccinations are important for your pets?
Vaccinations and health checks are important for keeping your pets healthy and protected from a variety of diseases such as parvovirus and canine cough in dogs, and cat flu and feline enteritis in cats. Starting from when your pet is a puppy or kitten, vaccinations boost your pet’s immunity against disease and protect them as they grow older.
Why Vaccinate Dogs?
I am often asked why we vaccinate our dogs every year and what diseases we are protecting them against. Vaccination is an essential part of the creation of ‘herd immunity’ whereby the larger animal population is protected because the prevalence of many life-threatening, contagious diseases is substantially reduced due to greater immunity in the population of pets as a whole.
