Heartworm disease is a disease quite common in dogs and cats, which comes from the bite of an infected mosquito.

Heartworm disease can cause your dog and cat pain and discomfort leading to a terrible cough, progressive weight loss, and even shortness of breath. It can cause a pretty nasty inflammation within their heart and lungs that can eventually lead to heart failure and sudden death. It's a common misconception that your pet doesn't need heartworm medication during the winter months, but they do.

We offer a wide range of heartworm, flea, and tick preventative products to keep your pet safe and healthy.
