A guide to help you decide which heartworm treatment is right for your dogs and cats
心絲蟲是一種特別危險的寄生蟲,對狗和貓都是致命的。一旦確定就很難治療,因此將心絲蟲預防作為寵物治療常規的一部分包括在內尤為重要。
As heartworm is transmitted by biting insects such as mosquitoes, dogs and cats can become infected without coming into contact with other animals, even if they are indoor-only pets.
