Heartworm disease is a serious condition spread by the bite of infected mosquitos. Heartworms can lead to heart failure, severe lung disease, and even death for pets in Ankeny. Today, our vets explain why prevention is key when it comes to this deadly condition.
Annual fecal exams at your vet's office are the best way to help keep your pet and your family safe from intestinal parasites. Yearly or twice yearly fecals give your Ankeny vet the opportunity to check for intestinal parasites before more serious conditions arise.
Fleas may be tiny but they can spread serious diseases, lead to infections, and make your pet itchy and miserable. Our Ankeny vets explain early signs of fleas, and what to do if your pet does have fleas.
