Give your clients the facts about the damage heartworm disease can do not only to their pet’s health but also to their pocketbook.
Many dog and cat owners don’t understand the serious implications of heartworm disease. In fact, many don’t even know how heartworm disease is transmitted. It’s the veterinary team’s job to convey parasite-related information to clients, including how heartwormdisease occurs, why it’s so dangerous and the cost of treatment versus prevention.
