Is heartworm common in dogs? - The Waggin' Train Veterinary Clinic

Unfortunately, yes, depending on where you live. Let me answer it this way—if you have mosquitoes where you live, then yes. They are how the disease is spread so, if you live, say, in Canada where there are no mosquitoes, it's not going to be a big deal to you guys. But here in South Louisiana, the Gulf Coast, and the majority of the United States, I would say it's a pretty big issue.
