ProHeart 12: Year-Round Heartworm & Hookworm Protection for Your Dog
What is ProHeart 12
ProHeart 12 is a once-a-year injection that provides continuous protection against heartworm disease in dogs 12 months of age and older. It also treats common hookworm infections your dog may have at the time of injection. With just one veterinary visit, you can ensure your pet is protected for a full year—no monthly doses to remember.
Why Protect Your Dog from Heartworm & Hookworms
Heartworm disease is a serious and potentially fatal illness caused by worms that grow in a dog’s heart and lungs. It is spread by mosquitoes, meaning just one bite from an infected mosquito can put your dog at risk.
Hookworms are intestinal parasites that can be picked up through contaminated soil or direct skin contact. Left untreated, they can cause severe digestive issues and overall health problems for your pet.
