Heartworm Disease in Dogs and Cats

The above video explains the life cycle of the heartworm (Dirofilaria immitis) and the importance of yearly heartworm testing and monthly preventatives. Keep your pet healthy and educate yourself on what to look for, how to prevent and treat and when to call the vet. Heartworm disease is a serious and potentially fatal condition caused by parasitic worms living in the arteries of the lungs and occasionally in the right side of the heart of dogs, cats and other species of mammals and (in rare instances) humans. Heartworms are classified as nematodes (roundworms) and are filarids, one of many species of roundworms. Dogs and cats of any age or breed are susceptible to infection. Heartworm disease has been reported in all 50 states. Click here for more in detail information regarding Heartworm Disease in dogs AND cats.
