Here we are in the south with winter, or lack there of coming to an end. What most do not think about is the bugs that are about to follow come spring, or for us here very soon since our temperatures and dampness is a perfect breeding ground for mosquitoes and fleas. A lot of times people do not think about the pest until it is to late and they already have an infestation. Usually they reach for some chemical to kill them, but from what I have seen those chemicals are not only harmful they just do not work. Our pets suffer the most because we have bought into the hype of you must have flea protection and heartworm protection or you are a bad pet parent.
Go to any vet office and you will see the little display they have of the heart with the worms crawling through it. Almost like a horror movie on display. How could you not buy into such a visual? Yes I know heartworms can be a scary thing, but only because we are blindly led to believe this.
