It’s not just about the location, more and more heartworm infected dogs are being transported from down south to shelters here in the Northeast.
My friend adopted a lab mix that came from down south he tested negative for heartworm prior to transport, 3 months later he tested positive (it doesn’t show up right away) and my friend spent at least $1000 and had to deal with a sick dog for over a month.
If a mosquito bites an infected dog and then bites your dog…..
You get the picture?
Heartworm disease is more prevalent in dogs now. That’s a fact.
