Why test for heartworm

Heartworm disease is a serious and potentially fatal condition spread by mosquitoes. Dogs can carry heartworms for months before showing signs, so routine testing is the best way to catch infection early, when treatment works best.

Who uses it

Animal shelters, dog rescues and foster networks, breeders, kennels, boarding facilities and veterinary clinics.

Common questions
