Some pets suffer from heartworm infections. Cats and dogs are susceptible to this parasite attack and if left untreated, it can cause death. It is important that any heartworm infections are detected early and treated with heartworm medication.

There are tests administered to your pets to find out if they are infected with heartworm. Once they are diagnosed with the infection, a treatment program is introduced. And often, the medication is continued for the prevention of another infestation. It is very important that you follow your vet’s advice properly since it can mean the life of your pet. Cat and dog heartworm medication is different from each other so make sure you give the right medication to the right pet.
