Heartworm disease is a silent threat, but can be preventable. A single heart worm bite can begin the Heartworm lifecycle, which develops silently before reaching the heart and lungs. This month, let’s get ahead of the cycle with a simple test and a consistent prevention plan.

While some symptoms are obvious, it’s often the subtle, easy-to-miss changes that are your pet’s way of telling you something isn’t right.

Ticks are small, but the problems they cause can be serious. As weather warms and pets spend more time outside, it helps to know where ticks hide and how to check for them.
�
Ticks often wait on tall grass, brush and leaf piles along the edges of yards, parks and trails. After outdoor time, a slow, thorough check can help you spot them early.
�
We can also recommend year-round parasite prevention that fits your pet and your local area so you do not have to guess.

Curious pets can find trouble in places people do not always expect. National Poison Prevention Week is a good reminder to look around the home from a pet’s point of view.

Common risks include human medications on nightstands, certain houseplants and flowers, chocolate and xylitol sweetened treats, and cleaning or yard products left within reach.

If a pet ever seems off after getting into something, do not wait for symptoms to worsen. Call the ASPCA Poison Helpline below for immediate assistance and notify our clinic as soon as possible for further treatment and guidance.

ASPCA Poison Helpline: 888-426-4435
