Change:

We have relocated to N. Carolina a little over three months ago. We have found doctors and dentists for ourselves and also for our fur family. One thing here we have to be aware of that was not in Colorado is heartworm. We quickly put our three on heartworm medication so they were protected from heartworm. 

In Colorado we did not have heartworm as the elevation was such as the mosquitos did not live there. Even so I had our guys checked for heartworm just the same as there was a lot of tourist activity it could be brought in randomly.  It is best for them to be protected - which they are. The only downside of giving them the monthly Rx is that it tends to upset their stomachs for a day or two. 

It is an insidious disease that is preventable and I would not take a chance on our loved fur family getting it.
