Pet Heartworm Testing in Lambertville, MI
In the United States and many other countries across the world, heartworm illness in pets is a serious and potentially fatal condition. Heartworm disease is brought on by foot-long worms (heartworms) that reside in the heart, lungs, and blood vessels nearby in infected pets. This leads to serious lung disease, heart failure, and harm to other body parts.
We advise getting your dog tested for heartworm disease annually and giving them monthly preventative for heartworm, fleas, and ticks in addition to vaccinating them against diseases like rabies, distemper or DAPP, bordetella, or kennel cough, and bringing in a stool sample to check for intestinal parasites. The general health of your dog depends on the results of the heartworm test. For additional information, contact us or give us a call.
