Just One Bite from Just One Mozzie...

Just one bite from a mosquito is enough to infect your dog with heartworm, which can lead to heart failure and death.

ALL dogs are at risk, thankfully it takes just one yearly injection to give your dog protection.

How do dogs get heartworm?

Our ageing pets require a little bit of extra attention to help keep them on all four paws for longer.

A check up at least once a year is essential for your ageing friend. Much can change over this time and we aim to pick up on any problems and act quickly.

Some changes may be obvious such as accidents around the house, hearing problems or stiff legs. Beyond the visible changes, there can be much more going on internally, such as a slowing metabolism and changing of nutritional requirements.

Here are a few things you might notice at home:

  • Changes in appetite or thirst
  • Increasing or decreasing weight
  • Loss of house training
  • Difficulty climbing stairs or getting into the car
  • A cough
