What is an effective way to prevent heartworm disease?​

Heartworm is a dangerous parasitic infection most common in warmer climates, but due to increased travel and climate change, it's becoming more prevalent in the Netherlands as well. It is spread by mosquitoes that inject infected larvae during a bite. These larvae then mature into adult worms in the heart and pulmonary arteries, causing serious damage and potentially leading to death. Symptoms are often invisible until the disease has progressed. This makes prevention vital. Annual testing is recommended, especially for dogs traveling to Southern Europe. Preventing mosquito bites and using a preventive that targets early larval stages is essential.
