Cat Lovers Month

Did you know that 1 in 4 cats that are diagnosed with heartworm disease are indoor only pets? Heartworms are transmitted through a single mosquito bite. Mosquitoes become infected with heartworm microfilariae (baby heartworms) while taking a blood meal from an infected dog, and then can transmit the heartworms to cats. Heartworms are hard to diagnose in cats and there is no treatment that is approved to eliminate feline heartworm infections.

What can you do to prevent this from happening?
Centragard is a monthly topical solution that is applied to cats to prevent heartworm disease. Centragard is also used to treat and prevent hookworms, roundworms & tape worms.
