Comprehensive Heartworm Testing & Prevention in Moultrie, GA
Heartworm disease is a serious, life-threatening threat to dogs and cats, and it’s present year-round in our region. At Southside Veterinary Center in Moultrie, GA, we stress that reliable Heartworm Testing & Prevention is a non-negotiable part of your pet’s preventative healthcare plan. Our goal is to keep your pet protected from this dangerous, mosquito-borne parasite.
Why Heartworm Prevention is a Year-Round Necessity
Heartworms are transmitted when an infected mosquito bites your pet. The larvae mature into worms that live in the heart and lungs, causing severe, permanent damage, often leading to heart failure and death. Because mosquitoes are active for much of the year, year-round prevention is the only reliable defense. The American Heartworm Society recommends annual testing for all dogs.
