Preventing Filaria Infection for Chappy

     Today, my brother, my mother and I took Chappy to a veterinary hospital to get medicine which prevents filariasis. It's because there are mosquitoes in Japan during summer, and those transmit filaria, Heartwarm, to dogs through the bites. Heartwarm infection results in serious disease for the dog. In my hometown, veterinarians prescribe medicine for preventing filaria infection through May to December, and a dog needs to take the medicine once a month.
