It’s finally spring which means it’s warming up outside, but this springtime awakening also means those bothersome mosquitoes are showing up too. According to the EPA,
“Mosquito-borne diseases are among the world's leading causes of illness and death today. The World Health Organization estimates that more than 300 million clinical cases each year are attributable to mosquito-borne illnesses.”
This estimate however, doesn’t even include the pet and wildlife population, which means, mosquitoes are more of a health risk than you may have previously thought. Mosquitoes pose a substantial risk to your pet’s health due to the fact that they are a vector for heartworm disease.
It only takes one bite from one infected mosquito to transmit deadly heartworm disease to your pets and in recent years Toepka Kansas has become a hot bet for infected mosquitos.
Schedule an appointment today to have your dog tested for heartworm disease and learn more about the preventative medication we offer!
