What Is Heartworm Disease in Dogs?
Heartworm disease is a serious—sometimes fatal—disease caused by parasitic worms that grow in a dog’s heart, lungs, and arteries.
Heartworm disease can be easily prevented in dogs but it is unfortunately quite common, affecting at least a million dogs in the U.S. While heartworm disease in dogs is treatable, it can cause serious and lasting damage.
