Heartworm is transmitted by mosquitoes—not by contact with other dogs' feces. Adult worms live in the pulmonary arteries and heart, causing progressive cardiopulmonary disease.
Prevention vs intestinal deworming
Products that only kill roundworms do not replace heartworm prevention. Monthly macrocyclic lactones or injections must follow veterinary labeling.
Clinical signs
Cough, exercise intolerance, weight loss, or collapse in advanced cases.
Pet NGON provides grooming only; prevention requires prescriptions from licensed veterinarians.
Routine grooming helps spot weight change or cough-related fatigue indirectly—after medical clearance.
Next step: Ask your vet about region-appropriate prevention for Boss; book Pet NGON for bathing unrelated to prescription protocols.
