WHAT ARE HEARTWORMS?
Heartworms are actually a type of roundworm, Dirofilaria immitis, which are transmitted to animals when they are bitten by infected mosquitoes. Heartworms spend their lives in the pulmonary arteries of their hosts (hence the term “heartworm”) and create health issues affecting the heart, lungs, and circulatory system.
