Heartworm disease is a serious condition that can afflict pets. The disease is transmitted through an infected mosquito bite, and manifests in worms surrounding the animal's heart. One million dogs on average have heartworm disease. It can be expensive and challenging to treat, but it is entirely preventable through proper channels, like taking monthly heartworm preventative.
