heartworm pills
Pet parasite prevention
Heartworm pills are medication given to dogs and cats to prevent heartworm disease, a potentially fatal condition caused by parasitic worms transmitted through mosquito bites.
The pills are typically given monthly: I need to pick up the dog's heartworm pills from the vet.
Also called heartworm preventatives or simply heartworm meds.
