                                                   “Heartworms are EXTREMELY common in the DFW area.  It’s
                                                   spread by mosquitos and is often deadly to dogs and cats.”

                                                   “Without heartworm prevention, almost all dogs in our area will
                                                   get heartworms.  Treatment costs over $1,000 and takes
                                                   months with cage rest.  There is no treatment for cats”.

                                                   “The cost for heartworm prevention is only around $10-20 per
                                                   month, even combo products with flea and tick prevention.”
