VOTS Winter Warning

Protect Your Pets Year-Round: VOTS Warns Heartworm Risk Persists in Winter 

 Even as temperatures drop, mosquitoes remain active in many areas, carrying the dangerous heartworm parasite that can affect both dogs and cats. VOTS is urging pet owners to continue proactive prevention measures to keep their pets safe during the winter months. 

“At VOTS, we want every pet in our community to enjoy a happy, healthy life,” said Dr. David, VOTS Owner. “Heartworm prevention is simple, safe, and essential — and it’s important for pet owners to maintain protection even in the cooler months.” 

VOTS Heartworm Prevention Program: 

• Easy Prevention Options: Monthly oral medications or topical preventatives tailored to each pet. 
• Comprehensive Care: Heartworm testing and wellness exams for dogs and cats. 
• Education & Support: Tips for reducing mosquito exposure at home and in the yard. 

Mosquitoes don’t take a break in winter, and even a single bite can transmit heartworm. Pet owners are encouraged to keep pets indoors when possible, remove standing water around the home, and ensure their prevention plans are up to date.
