HEARTWORM TESTING

There are 3 different types of heartworm tests available:

•Antigen - only identifies female adult heartworms.

•Microfilariae - only identifies mature, breeding heartworms.

•DNA - Identifies heartworm larvae

DNA testing for heartworm allows for early intervention before the larvae has a chance to develop

into mature heartworms and begin breeding. This makes DNA testing the best option, however it is

harder to access this type of testing.

•Ask your local vets for testing options they have - Antigen, Microfilariae or DNA test.

•If your vets don’t offer DNA testing, they can order tests here - http://www.healthgene.com/
