How many dogs die each year because of heartworms?
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 do you do if your dog has heart worms and is throwing up blood?
There are several things you can do about heartworms in pets. First, you can keep your pet on a monthly heartworm preventative, which is over 99% effective at preventing heartworm infestations in dogs and cats. Second, you can help reduce your pet's risk of getting infested with heartworms by avoiding peak times for mosquitoes, which is dawn and dusk around standing pools of water. Third, if your dog is infested with heartworms, there is an effective cure for them. It is risky for the dog - some dogs die of complications of heartworm treatment - but it will eliminate the heartworm infestation in your dog. There is no effective treatment for cats because they are so sensitive to the adult worms that they typically die of the infestation before treatment can be started; the good news is cats are quite resistent naturally to heartworm infestation in the first place.
