Dr. Jones provides a close-up look at the moment an infected mosquito bites a dog, showing how quickly infective heartworm larvae are deposited and drawn into the dog. Transmission occurs within seconds, reinforcing the need for vigilant monthly protection.
Dr. Jones explains the most important factors for protecting dogs’ health, including the need for parasite control. While heartworm preventives are highly effective, Dr. Jones treats roughly 100 cases of heartworm disease every year, and has for nearly 30 years.
Heartworm disease is the invisible threat you and your staff are intimately aware of, but your clients may miss. This video was designed to quickly communicate the real risks of heartworm disease, the benefits of #1 dog-preferred1 HEARTGARD Plus® (ivermectin/pyrantel) and the importance of year-round protection.
