The cost of treatment is dependent on where you’re being treated; usually starting around $500.00 and can go well beyond $1,000. The risk of complications is also high; the worms being expelled can cause blockages in blood flow. Heart worm prevention medicine like Heart Guard or many others your vet can provide range from $30.00-$50.00, that’s $ 8-$10 dollars a month. This of course is much less costly than heartworm treatment injections or surgery. Schedule your dog’s exam and heartworm test today.
