April is Heartworm Awareness Month

Our clinic is offering $20 canine Heartworm testing for the month of April, so we can help get your furry friend on the right prevention.

Not all dogs develop noticeable symptoms. While blood tests performed by your veterinarian are the only way to confirm a diagnosis of advanced heartworm disease in dogs, here are 5 warning signs that are reported in dogs with advanced heartworm disease:

1. Mild Persistent Cough - A persistent, dry cough is a common sign seen in dogs with advanced heartworm disease. The cough caused by heartworm disease can be one of the first signs you notice in an otherwise healthy-appearing dog.

2. Lethargy- lethargy and reluctance to exercise are common signs described in dogs with advanced heartworm disease. If your pet loses interest in going for walks or is fatigued after activity, it may be a sign of heartworm disease.

3. Weight loss-Some dogs have a decreased appetite and, as a result, lose weight.

4. Swollen Belly- As heartworm disease progresses, it can lead to heart failure. You may notice that your dog’s belly appears swollen from fluid in the abdomen.

5. Difficulty Breathing- In the most advanced cases, dogs can develop more severe respiratory issues like rapid breathing in addition to coughing.
