VANCOUVER, Wash., April 2, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Banfield Pet Hospital – the nation's leading provider of preventive veterinary care and part of the Mars Veterinary Health family of practices – surveyed 1,000 U.S. dog and cat owners and analyzed its pet medical record database to gain insights on the state of heartworm prevalence in pets, including seasonal and local trends.  

Key Points: 
  • According to the American Heartworm Society , more than a million pets in the U.S. have heartworm – a serious and potentially fatal parasite for dogs and cats that is contracted from mosquitos – and cases are on the rise.
  • Despite the growing prevalence, new survey findings from Banfield reveal nearly 40% of dog and cat owners don't believe their pet is at risk of getting heartworms and nearly 30% said their pet is not on heartworm prevention.
  • Further, 21% of pet owners don't believe the mosquitos in their state carry the parasite, despite heartworm cases being diagnosed in all 50 states.
  • Notably, states including Washington and Oregon made the top 10 list, which according to the American Heartworm Society are areas with historically low heartworm rates.
