For many of us our pets are another member of our family. Naturally their health and well being is very important to us. To pet owners the signs of spring remind us that it is time to have our furry friends tested for heartworm. Heartworm is a very serious and sometimes fatal condition in cats and dogs. Since 75% of all documented heartworm cases in Canada are right in Ontario it is important to have our pets tested and treated if necessary. Heartworm is a parasite that is usually spread by mosquitoes so the occurrence can happen anywhere.
