According to the Companion Animal Parasite Council (CAPC), the American Heartworm Society, the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) and world veterinary health leaders, all dogs and cats need parasite prevention year round to protect their health and the health of their families. Parasites, like fleas and ticks, carry dangerous and sometimes fatal diseases that affect pets and people. Additionally, intestinal worms in animals and people lead to risks ranging from no symptoms at all to blindness, vomiting, diarrhea, or event death. Mosquito transmitted heartworms also pose an extreme risk to dogs and cats with as few as one worm capable of killing a pet. Concerning are recent studies which show a 22 – 24% spike in positive heartworm cases - with some of these cases in dogs being refractory to treatments. For cats, there is not a cure that exists for heartworm once they are infected. The good news is that most parasites are nearly 100% preventable with monthly parasite preventative medications that are safe, and easy to administer.
