Heartworm Prevention
Struggletown recommends a once yearly injection as best practice.
Ensuring the safety of your dog from Heartworm is crucial all year-round. That’s why our clinic recommends year-long heartworm protection for your dogs in one convenient dose.


Why is this the best option for my dog?
A common question we receive is, why as an owner should I choose this for my dog?:
- Make parasite prevention easy, stress-free, and convenient – no more struggling to get your dog to eat chews, take tablets, or apply a spot-on correctly every single month, and NO WORRIES about missing a dose.

- 12 months guaranteed protection from heartworm using the gold standard in heartworm prevention – statistically, this is the most effective heartworm preventative on the market.
- A simple once yearly injection administered by a veterinary professional, and a once off cost.
- Reduce the risk of treatment costs for Heartworm – Heartworm treatment is expensive and prolonged, and the disease and treatment itself can be deadly.
- Extremely safe – We have been using this medication in this form for many many years, and it has one of the highest safety profiles on the market.
- It can easily be combined with your dog’s yearly vaccinations, or also our once yearly flea & tick preventative injection.

The Dangers of Heartworm & the facts
- In Australia, Heartworm is one of the most dangerous parasites around.
- It is spread by mosquitoes (even one tiny bite) which are present all year round here in Sydney.
- The tiny worms enter the bloodstream and grow into adult worms which lodge in your dog’s heart.
- Clinical signs sometimes take years to develop, so your dog can have the disease without you knowing.
- This disease can unfortunately kill dogs!
- Treatment is difficult and expensive and prolonged – with a full treatment course lasting one year.
Prevention is definitely better than cure in this case. Our team of vets can now give you peace of mind all year long with 12 months Heartworm protection in just one dose.
