Heartworm Prevention and Testing

Heartworm disease is dangerous to your pet, and can easily become fatal. Mosquitos spread heartworm disease, but for many reasons is not a “summer only” concern in Kansas. If you have indoor pets, they are at risk too! Have you ever swatted a mosquito in your house? Lawrence Veterinary Hospital strongly recommends that all cats and dogs be kept on appropriate heartworm prevention year-round.
