Giving
heartworm medication to prevent heartworms is crucial
You've probably
heard about heartworm medication and seen the heart infected with
heartworms at your vet's office. Given on a regular basis, heartworm
medication will keep your pet's heart, lungs, and arteries free from
infestation of heartworms.
Even if you use
heartworm medication, your dog should be tested every year for
heartworms. It's a good idea to include this in an annual check-up.
There are many
different heartworm medication preventives. You can choose to give your
dog a monthly pill, topical drops, or a shot from the vet every six
months. To chose the best possible way to prevent heartworms, do your
own research and talk to your vet. All preventives have possible side
effects.
Buying your
heartworm medication online is usually cheaper. You still need to have
your dog tested for heartworms every year. You should keep receipts
from any online suppliers with your vet records.
A couple of
heartworm medication brands now have generic alternatives. Many online
suppliers will even email you when it's time to give the preventives.
It's easier than ever to prevent heartworms.
It's important
to understand that heartworm medication - preventives - will NOT kill
adult heartworms. If your dog tests positive, there is an expensive,
sometimes painful, and potentially dangerous treatment from your vet.
Prevention is the key.
