From Collegiate Presswire's RadioWire (https://www.cpwire.com/radio): Radio It�s that time of year again when disease-carrying mosquitoes come out in droves. Although mosquito-borne diseases like West Nile Virus are a concern for people, heartworm should be the number one concern for dogs. The American Veterinary Medical Association states that West Nile Virus rarely occurs in dogs. However, heartworm disease in dogs has been found in all fifty states. Animal Planet Veterinarian Doctor Holly Knor:
�Pet owners need to be aware that heartworm disease is a very serious and potentially deadly condition for their cats and dogs. I recommend HEARTGARD Plus because it provides monthly protection for heartworm, hookworms and roundworms, and comes in the form of a beef chewable that�s easy to administer.�
Heartworm disease can be life-threatening since symptoms often do not appear until it�s too late. For more information on heartworm prevention, log on to w-w-w-dot-stop-worms-dot-com.
Fair Balance Statement: HEARTGARD is well tolerated. All dogs should be tested for heartworm infection before starting a preventive program. Following the use of HEARTGARD, digestive and neurological side effects were reported.
