We are unsure of the exact number because a) many stray dogs die of heartworm disease each year and b) even dogs who have owners die mysteriously at home and the exact cause is never known. The only way to keep your dog safe is to administer a monthly heartworm preventative to your dog. Ask your veterinarian which one he/she recommends, but some common ones are Sentinel, Interceptor, Heartgard, and Advantage Multi. Also, for you cat owners, don't forget about your furry four-legged friend. Cats get heartworm disease too, and because there is currently NO treatment for heartworm disease in cats, it is even more important for them to receive monthly preventative. Ask your veterinarian about using monthly Revolution for your cat.

What is cat parasite?
Cats can have many different digestive parasites. They can have tapeworms, hookworms, roundworms, pinworms, and like dogs, cats can have heartworms. All of these can be treated and removed through veterinary care, but heartworms are very difficult to remove. In any of these, if left untreated, a cat can die.
What are the different types of worms a dog can get?
Dogs can get roundworms, tapeworms, hookworms, whipworms, and heartworms. Each type of worm can cause different symptoms and health issues for the dog. Regular deworming and preventative measures are important to keep dogs healthy.
When do the signs of heartworms start showing in dogs?
Normally when it is too late to treat. A dog will not usually show symptoms of being infected with heartworms until the number of heartworms becomes very large in the heart. Therefore the chances of treatment working is not as good as too many heartworms in the heart to clog the heart valves as they die off due to treatment. This is the reason to have your dog checked first for heartworms then put on once a month treatment to prevent the H/W. Also your Veterinarian should test your dog once a year for H/W just to be on the safe side. Symptoms of a severe case of heartworms include coughing, tired all the time, color is not good, bluish at times, etc.
