Heartworm Disease

                Heartworms are parasites that inhabit the heart and lungs of infected dogs. Heartworm disease is transmitted by mosquitoes.  It can cause serious health problems, and may eventually lead to heart failure and death.  Signs of heartworm disease include coughing, breathing difficulty, and reduced ability to exercise.

Heartworms can be prevented by giving your pet a monthly heartworm pill.
