As spring approaches, the gnats, flies and mosquitoes will start to wake up and potentially wreak havoc on people and pets. Mosquitoes can be especially dangerous for dogs because mosquitoes are the primary carriers of heartworm disease. It’s important to have your dog tested for heartworms yearly and to have your dog on a monthly heartworm prevention medication. In addition, you can take precautions to help keep the mosquito population down around your home. Don’t allow any standing water around your house. Keep buckets empty or turned upside down so they don’t collect rain water. Keep your yard or pond areas sprayed with pet friendly mosquito repellent. Try to keep your dog indoors at dusk and dawn when mosquitoes are at their busiest. If you do go outdoors at these times, ask your vet about using a dog safe repellent. Call your trustworthy veterinarians Lewisville TX.
