Heartworm Awareness Month:
Protect Your Furry Friends This April

Spring has officially arrived, and while we welcome the warmer weather, it also marks the return of a silent threat to our pets: mosquitoes. As we head into April, it is crucial to understand the risks of heartworm disease and how you can keep your beloved companions safe.

At Quality Pet Care, we are dedicated to helping you stay ahead of seasonal risks so your pets can enjoy the outdoors safely.

Why April?

Mosquitoes are the primary carriers of heartworm larvae. As temperatures rise, mosquito activity surges, significantly increasing the risk of transmission. Heartworm disease is a serious and potentially fatal condition that affects dogs, cats, and even ferrets.

Heartworm Prevention Awareness

Know the Symptoms

In the early stages, many pets show little to no symptoms. However, as the disease progresses, you may notice:

  • • A persistent, soft cough
  • • Reluctance to exercise or fatigue after moderate activity
  • • Decreased appetite and weight loss
  • • A swollen abdomen due to excess fluid (in advanced cases)

Treatment vs. Prevention

Treating a pet already infected with heartworms is a long, expensive, and physically taxing process for the animal. It often requires multiple injections and strict exercise restriction for months. The better path is always prevention.

We offer ProHeart 12, a yearly vaccine that provides continuous heartworm protection for 12 full months with just a single dose.
