The parasites that prey on our pets do not adhere to stay-at-home directives. In fact, they consider warm weather as an invitation to treat animals like an all-you-can-eat buffet. This is particularly true of heartworm, deadly parasites carried by mosquitos that live in a dog or cat’s heart, lungs, and blood vessels. Because they constrict blood flow, they can damage internal organs and cause lung disease and heart failure. Read more on out blog below about the dangers of heartworms and the importance of protecting your pet all year long.

Because spring is primetime for pet allergies, we wanted to put the spotlight on the fact that, just like you, pets can have adverse reactions to the environment. Have you noticed your pet itching more as the weather warms? Maybe you’ve watched your best friend wheezing or suffering through a runny nose this time of year. Like humans, pets can be allergic to grass, dust, pollen and other environmental allergens. Read more on our blog below about signs of allergies in pets and the treatment options available.
