heartworm prevention
Heartworm is a parasite that is spread by mosquitoes. It can cause serious damage to the heart & lungs of affected pets which leads to coughing, breathing difficulties, collapse and sudden death. As with all parasites, prevention is better than cure.
There are many products available to protect your pet and we recommend starting prevention by 3 months of age. The most effective, convenient product is SR12 injection which lasts for up to 12 months alternatively there are monthly chews available.
