The Podcast for Dog People by Pawsome University
Kids & Family:Pets & Animals
If you own a dog, chances are you have heard of heartworms. But do you really know what they are? How serious is an infestation? How is it treated? What are the odds of survival? What are the odds of your dog even contracting it in the first place? Today we’re digging into the coronary creepy crawlies to find you the answers. Our own dog, Oaklee, came to us from South Carolina with advanced Heartworm Disease, so we know first hand what it's like for your dog to fight this difficult battle.
