Heartworm disease is a serious and potentially fatal disease in pets in the United States and many other parts of the world. It is caused by foot-long worms (heartworms) that live in the heart, lungs and associated blood vessels of affected pets, causing severe lung disease, heart failure and damage to other organs in the body. Heartworm disease affects dogs, cats and ferrets, but heartworms also live in other mammal species, including wolves, coyotes, foxes, sea lions and—in rare instances—humans. Because wild species such as foxes and coyotes live in proximity to many urban areas, they are considered important carriers of the disease.

As heartworm can be deadly, it is important to know if your dog is playing host to these parasites. 
There are often no signs of heartworm disease early on, however as the disease progresses increasingly severe signs may be seen. Here is a quick run down of heartworm symptoms in dogs:

1. Cough

2. Lethargy and exercise intolerance

3. Weight loss

4. Trouble breathing

5. Enlarged abdomen 

While puppies can be infested by heartworm from the bite of a mosquito, disease does not occur until the worms mature, which can take 6-7 months.  For this reason, heartworm disease is not seen in puppies less than 6 months of age.
