Heartworm Disease

Did You Know...

• Heartworm disease is transmitted by mosquitoes. Heartworms are damaging parasites that can kill or seriously debilitate infected pets.
• Pets are at risk for heartworm disease in all 50 states.
• It only takes a single mosquito bite for pets to become infected with heartworm larvae. When a mosquito bites an infected dog, it can transfer the larval parasite to the next dog or cat it bites.
• It only takes one heartworm-infected dog to substantially increase the number of infected mosquitoes that can transmit heartworm parasites to nearby unprotected dogs and cats.
