Heartworm and Intestinal Parasite Control

Heartworms are most commonly found in dogs, although they can infect a wide variety of mammals including cats. Heartworms are transmitted from one animal to another by mosquitoes. Because mosquitoes can get indoors, all dogs and cats are at risk for heartworm disease. Clinical signs are coughing, vomiting, lethargy, weight loss, collapse or convulsions, and even sudden death.
