The ALA would like to remind our Labradoodle families of the importance of preventative health care and of being well informed. The recent floods have raised mosquito populations and therefore the risk of healthworm for our four legged friends. While treatment is possible, prevention is better than cure. You should consult your vet if you are concerned about your pet's health or need advice on heartworm prevention. There are oral, topical and injectable preparations to safeguard your best pal.
The Australian Veterinary Association has prepared some wonderful advice on pet care in flood situations... Hopefully this information can be tucked away but never have to be used. Please also read their media release online regarding an emerging heartworm threat in our recently flood affected regions.
Read more about heartworm on the website of the Australian Vetinary Association.
