Warning signs to watch for include persistent scratching, fur thinning, low energy, vomiting, diarrhoea and unexplained weight loss.
Heartworm can be especially insidious because symptoms often don’t appear until the disease is advanced — which is why early detection through regular testing is so important.
At Mooroopna Veterinary Practice, our team recommends proactive parasite prevention rather than waiting for illness to strike. It’s safer, more effective and more affordable than treating established infection.
Our parasite prevention services include a variety of options: monthly spoton solutions, intuitive chews, or longer‑lasting tablets.
We particularly recommend Bravecto treatments. Bravecto chews protect dogs from fleas, ticks and paralysis tick for up to four months, while Bravecto spot‑on provides six‑month coverage. While the new Bravecto Quantum last for 12 months, one off injection call the practice for more information.
During August, Mooroopna Veterinary Practice is offering a limited‑time promotion: pets that haven’t received heartworm prevention in the past 12 months can book a free heartworm test– limited supply.
Additionally, we offer 20 percent off Bravecto Quantum, our extended‑action treatment for dogs and large pets.
Speak to our experienced team to create a parasite prevention plan tailored to your pet’s lifestyle — whether indoor or outdoor, big or small.
We serve the Mooroopna and Goulburn Valley community with full veterinary services, diagnostics and compassionate care.
To book an appointment or learn more, visit Mooroopna Veterinary Practice; you can also call or enquire online directly from our site.
A happy, healthy pet starts with prevention — don’t wait until it’s too late.
