<p dir="auto">Heartworm. It's more than just a buzzword you hear at your vet's office; it's a condition that could impact your dog's health and happiness for the rest of their lives. Every dog, from the tiniest Chihuahua to the towering Great Dane, is at risk of heartworm disease. Geography plays a role, with areas having high mosquito populations seeing more cases. However, no state in the U.S. is heartworm-free.

The unsung villain in the spread of heartworm is none other than the mosquito. The disease is transmitted when a mosquito bites an infected animal and then bites your dog, transferring the heartworm larvae into your dog’s bloodstream. This means that any dog, regardless of age, breed, or living conditions, can get heartworm disease if an infected mosquito bites them. Yes, even indoor dogs are at risk!</p><p dir="auto" style="text-align: left"></p><p dir="auto"></p><p dir="auto"><div style="text-align: center;" class="image"><img height="auto" style="" src="https://uvc-asset.s3.ca-central-1.amazonaws.com/1740500425803-4ea93898-d256-47d0-85f7-19d3738bdebc-1.png" flipx="false" flipy="false" align="center" inline="false"></div></p><p dir="auto"></p><p dir="auto" style="text-align: left"></p>
