How are heartworms transmitted? - Loch Haven Veterinary Hospital

Heartworms are transmitted through mosquitoes. A mosquito will take a blood meal from a heartworm positive dog who's shedding their baby heartworms, this is called microfilaria. The mosquito will then ingest that, and later take a blood meal from your cat, injecting some of that blood with the microfilaria.

Photobiomodulation, commonly called laser therapy, target's your pet's damaged cells and helps them regenerate faster. Much like sunlight helps a plant produce energy, laser therapy helps energize your pet's cells.
