Heartworm

Heartworm is caused by the heartworm larvae. This often fatal disease can affect family pets if they have been bitten by a mosquito carrying the larvae.

The disease is preventable through a variety of drugs that have been approved by the Food and Drug Administration. Keeping your pets inside may help prevent the disease, too, but mosquitoes can easily invade indoor spaces through torn window screens and open doors.
