Long-Lasting Protection Against Heartworm Disease
Heartworm disease is a serious condition that can cause lasting damage to a dog’s heart and lungs. Because it is transmitted through mosquito bites, even dogs who spend most of their time indoors can be at risk.
At Martin Animal Clinic, we offer ProHeart® as a reliable, long-acting heartworm prevention option designed to simplify protection and provide consistent coverage.
What Is ProHeart®?
ProHeart is an injectable heartworm preventive that provides extended protection with a single dose. Depending on your dog’s needs, it may offer:
- Six months of protection (ProHeart 6)
- Twelve months of protection (ProHeart 12)
This eliminates the need to remember monthly pills and helps reduce missed doses — one of the most common reasons prevention fails.
Is ProHeart Right for Your Dog?
Before administering ProHeart, we perform a heartworm test to ensure your dog is negative and eligible for treatment. Our team will review your dog’s:
- Age and weight
- Medical history
- Lifestyle and exposure risk
- Previous prevention history
We’ll discuss whether ProHeart is the most appropriate option or if another preventive plan is better suited.
Safe Administration & Monitoring
ProHeart is administered as a simple injection during your dog’s visit. As with any medication, we monitor carefully and review what to expect afterward. Most dogs tolerate the injection well.
Heartworm prevention is far easier — and far safer — than heartworm treatment.
