Why Heartworm Prevention Matters

Heartworm is transmitted through mosquito bites and can affect dogs living in a wide range of climates and environments.

Heartworm prevention may help:

• Support protection against heartworm disease

• Support year-round parasite management routines
• Provide convenient monthly protection options

Because mosquitoes can remain active throughout much of the year, regular heartworm prevention is commonly recommended.
