Unfortunately, we live in an area (as wonderful as it is) where our pets are susceptible to heartworm infection. Heartworm is spread through mosquitos bites and if contracted, can lead to all sorts of serious health problems.
Fortunately, Wayland Animal Clinic has had enormous success making it easy for our clients to keep their pets safe from heartworm through annual testing, client education, and administering monthly heartworm preventatives. Most heartworm medications also protect your pet against other parasites, such as roundworms, hookworms, and whipworms. Our veterinarians will talk with you and recommend the regimen of prevention that is just right for your family and your pet.
