Heartworm Treatment and Prevention
The good news is that most dogs with heartworm
disease can be successfully treated, usually with drugs (adulticide,
microfilaricide) that kill adult heartworms and their offspring. But
prevention is the best cure - it's safer, less expensive, and better
for your pet!
Preventative medications are extremely effective and when given properly,
on a regular basis, can prevent your pet from contracting heartworm
disease. But remember, year-round heartworm protection is as good
as your diligence in remembering to give your pet the prescribed medication,
as directed by your veterinarian! |
