Heartworm disease is a serious and potentially life-threatening condition that affects pets, especially dogs, but can also impact cats and other animals. Caused by parasitic worms transmitted through mosquito bites, heartworms can lead to severe lung disease, heart failure, and damage to other organs. Fortunately, heartworm disease is preventable with regular medication and treatment, and early detection is key to successful management. Our veterinarians are highly trained in the prevention and treatment of this disease. The Community Clinic’s dedicated heartworm suites provide a safe and comfortable environment so your pet can get the best care.
