This life-threatening condition needs to be prevented in time before it turns out to be fatal for dogs. Through this blog, let\u2019s understand everything about Heartworm Disease, its symptoms and the best preventive treatment that will help you protect your dog against this deadly condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:26px\"><strong>What are Heartworms and how do they infect dogs?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Heartworms are large worms, reaching up to a foot or more in length that live inside the lungs, heart and surrounding blood vessels of dogs for several years. They can cause severe damage to the body and can be fatal for dogs, if left unattended. Heartworm Disease is caused by a parasitic worm known as Dirofilaria immitis which gets transmitted by a mosquito that carries the infective heartworm larvae from an infected animal to a new host. When this infected mosquito bites the dog, immature heartworms are transmitted. They grow to become adult worms within six to seven months. The worms interrupt normal heart functions and can be fatal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:24px\"><strong>Signs of Heartworm Disease in dogs<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dogs show various signs after getting infected with Heartworm Disease:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Coughing<\/li><li>Difficulty in exercising<\/li><li>Low stamina<\/li><li>Weakness<\/li><li>Shortness of breath<\/li><li>Loss of appetite<\/li><li>Nervousness<\/li><li>Weight loss<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s now have a look at one of the most affordable and popular <a href=\"https:\/\/www.budgetvetcare.com\/dog-heartwormers\/c108.aspx?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=seo&amp;utm_campaign=nuheart-generic-heartgard-for-dogs\"><strong>heartworm preventive<\/strong><\/a> for dogs:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 style=\"font-size:28px\"><strong>Nuheart Generic Heartgard for Heartworm Protection<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Nuheart is a highly effective oral treatment designed to protect dogs against heartworm disease.
