There is heartworm in the PNW, at least enough to give cause for worry. Like other vector-born diseases (West Nile comes to mind), the fact that the PNW vets jumped on it early and are pretty insistent on dealing with it keeps it rather more controlled. >That would seem to give the northwest >a big advantage over the southeast (unless they normalize) In the SE, it got started earlier, control measures aren't Nearly so widespread, so there's more of it there. My dogs both get their heartworm doses the first of every month. Always have. Most local dog owners do that -- at least those who provide regular medical care to their dogs.
