Heartworm prevention is especially important here in the Lowcountry. Heartworm disease is transmitted through mosquitoes, of which we have many! Often we see mosquitoes year-round, so always remember to protect your dog or cat with one of our recommended heartworm preventatives.

Trifexis®

Trifexis® is an oral pill given monthly to protect dogs from fleas, heartworms, and other intestinal parasites. Right now when you buy 6 doses of Trifexis® you receive a $10 mail-in rebate. When you buy a years worth, receive a $25 rebate!

 

While ticks are not usually a huge problem in our warm climate, it is never a bad idea to add tick protection for your dog or cat, as ticks can spread diseases such as Lyme and Ehrlichia. Consider an oral product for dogs like Nexgard® or Bravecto®, or a Seresto® collar (which lasts 8 months and works for cats, too!) All of these products treat and prevent fleas as well.

Even if you never see fleas on your pet, remember that mosquitoes can get inside your house. Always use heartworm prevention for your dog or cat: Heartgard® and Tri-Heart Plus® prevent heartworms and intestinal parasites.

We want to make sure you get the best flea, tick, and heartworm prevention at a great price! Don’t hesitate to contact our front desk with any questions.

P.S. Remember we are having a Proheart 6® Clinic this Saturday March 24th from 9am-1pm! We still have some appointments available so give our front desk a shout to inquire.

Saturday Proheart 6 Clinic!

There will be a Proheart® 6 Clinic at The Folly Road Animal Hospital on Saturday, March 24th! We are accepting appointments between 9:00am and 12:30pm. For those unfamiliar with Proheart® 6, it is an injectable form of heartworm prevention. Once administered, Proheart® 6 prevents heartworm infections for six months. Because of its value, Proheart® 6 is an excellent option for owners of multiple dogs, giant breed dogs, or those of us who may not be the best at remembering to give monthly preventatives! A negative heartworm test is required within 30 days before the injection, so at our clinic we will be offering FREE Witness Heartworm Tests to dogs who need one. Dogs with valid heartworm tests will receive $5 off the cost of the injection! Prices are based on your dog’s weight, so give our front desk a call to get a quote and reserve your spot at the clinic on Saturday, March 24th! Saturday appointments fill up very quickly, so contact us today! For more information on Proheart® 6, click here!
