Heart Worm PSA

[Lake Chuck Duck]

Hey guys, I just wanted to remind everyone how important it is to make sure that you are giving your dogs their heart worm preventitve every month, especially outside dogs. And not just round about every month, EXACTLY A MONTH. I was giving my lab hers but some times I would forget and it would be a month and a half or longer. I brought her for her yearly shots a couple weeks ago and she tested positive for heart worms. So now, on top of spending $400, I have to keep her locked up for 2 MONTHS. This is going to be hard on both of us since she is an outside dog. I cant leave her outside in a kennel because its too hot. Walk on leash to use the bathroom and thats it, so she doesnt get too excited. Getting the heart pumpin too hard can kill her while the worms are breaking up. I just dropped her off at the vet this morning and am dreading the next 2 months!

So just wanted to say to everyone to keep on top of treatment. And if you feel like you missed a month or its been a while since they had a pill, go get them tested. Its only $10. They come from mosquitos and we all know how bad they can get here.
