Heartworms can spell disaster for your pet, so how do you know what symptoms to look for?
The worst part about heartworms for the owner is that due to the fact that your pet may not show any symptoms right away, a heartworm infestation can go undetected until the condition becomes critical.
The heart worm test is usually a blood test, although x-rays will show evidence of heartworm build up in the organs. Once diagnosed, it's then the moment to choose some heartworm treatment.
An arsenic based medication is usually used to treat an existing heartworm infestation, but this treatment brings the risk of serious complications including pulmonary embolism, which may bring on the need for emergency surgery to clear the atrium of the heart.
Heart worm is arguably the most serious parasite for a dog. Heartworm medicines exist for the prevention of heartworm, there is an individual page for each of the market leaders in this section.
It is easy to choose what products are best at killing fleas, as fleas are an ever present problem for most animals. Advantage, a very popular flea control product for pets, quickly comes to mind. What heartworm product available equals the steadfast reputation of Advantage for our pets?
This will be a summary of some of the more popular brands of heartworm preventative for your dog; however, you should visit our brand pages and the individual product websites to complete your research. A number of heartworm prevention products available today also help to protect your pet from other parasites.
Interceptor heartworm preventative medication will also protect against roundworms, hookworms and whipworms.
Heartgard medicine under the name Heartgard Plus tackles hookworms, heart worms and roundworm, whereas Sentinel gives marching orders to an impressive 5 pests: fleas, heart worms, hookworms, roundworms and whipworm. It is the extra ingredient which makes a heartworm medication also a dog flea treatment.
Obviously, you can take many heartworm preventative measures for your pet.
If you really want to provide the best protection for your dog, do not settle for one of the many generic heartworm treatments that are available on the market today; choose a brand that is reliable from a reputable manufacturer. Heartgard heartworm prevention medication or Revolution heartworm preventative (with the addition of a flea control ingredient) are a couple of the good options available.
Generic heartworm medicine may do the job, but when you buy heartworm medicine by a big brand you know that you are choosing peace of mind over cost.
