Getting our Dogs Healthy

12/2/2014

Sometimes, the perfect dog doesn't come to us perfectly healthy.  One such problem is Heartworm.  Just as it sounds, this is a condition where worms can live and grow in a dog’s heart and, sometimes, lungs.  This is transmitted from dog to dog by mosquitoes.  When treated early and correctly, heartworm is highly curable and is preventable.  That's why City Dogs Rescue is grateful for the support of the Humane Society of Charles County, located in Waldorf, Maryland.  They provide low-cost heartworm treatment for our dogs, even after adoption.

Matt, one of our adoptive dads, said that the treatment Molly received at Charles County was "first rate" and that she is "just fine and back to normal."  And Frank, Mason's dad, said that he "received excellent treatment... is doing quite well now... and plays at the dog park almost every day."  He also said that getting Mason "in and out of the clinic was quick and easy and everyone was responsive and helpful whenever we had any questions."

As you can see, Molly made a beautiful bridesmaid at her parents wedding.
Heartworm treatment is just one more way that CDR works to keep our dogs healthy before and after adoption.  Thank you again to the Humane Society of Charles County for helping us do this!

One of the most common health problems among our dogs are heart worms. It is a sad reality that a lot of dogs were succumbed by these pests and yet there is nothing we can’t do about it because it might have been late for us to make some health-related actions. That’s why as early as know, we should know several ways on how we can protect our dogs. Keeping them healthy could mean spending some penny. But that’s okay especially if you treat them as your family, isn’t it?

One of your best friend is your puppy. I just got a new pup, I am still training and this pup is my life. Nobody would love you like your pet, s you should take care of them. I take care of mine like a child and that is fantastic experience that I cannot describe in words, thanks.
