Heartworm
concerns are on the rise, especially as we travel more
frequently with our dogs from state to state.
Why,
you ask may pet travel be a factor in the spread of
heartworm disease and dog
health problems? The answer is with our culprit, the
mosquito. Sad but true, the mosquito is the agent responsible
for the spread of heartworm.
What
can happen, as an example, is that the pest bites an
infected dog and then later bites a perfectly healthy
dog thereby transfering the heartworm.
