Heartworm Prevention
All it takes is one mosquito bite for your pet to become infected with heartworm disease, which is 100% preventable. We’d like to remind all pet owners that prevention is so much cheaper and easier than treatment, so keeping your pet on a heartworm preventative will save you time, money and worry in the long run.
If your dog or cat spends any time at all outside, even just for bathroom breaks, they are at risk of contracting heartworm disease. As you probably know very well, mosquitoes are everywhere in Texas and they can be relentless. Just one bite could spread heartworm disease to your pet, so we urge everyone to keep their pets on a monthly heartworm preventative year-round.
The SPCA of Texas offers heartworm testing and prevention at all of our clinic locations. Make an appointment today, or stop by one of our low-cost pet vaccination clinics in Dallas or Mckinney for a free wellness exam and heartworm test when you purchase one year of prevention!
