Heartworms Unraveled: Heartworm Prevention and its Importance

In this veterinary nurse/technician training video, veterinary practitioner and American Heartworm Society Past President Dr. Chris Duke shares an overview of why year-round heartworm prevention for pets is so important. His talk covers heartworm incidence in the U.S., the heartworm life cycle, the mosquito vector and its control, heartworm diagnosis and some of the options for heartworm prevention in pets. CVT Paola Dominguez-Lopez concludes the video with a case study that illustrations how veterinary nurses/technicians can discuss heartworm prevention with clients and how to help them find the prevention option that fits their pet, their lifestyle and their budget.
