How does my pet get heartworm?
Heartworm is transmitted by mosquito bite. When a mosquito bites an infected dog it ingests the young worms from the bloodstream. In 10-45 days, the worms inside the mosquito reach the infective stage of their maturity and the mosquito can infect another dog with its bite. It takes up to 6 months for the worms to move to the heart and become sexually mature adult heartworms.

"Not the least hard thing to bear when
they go from us, these quiet friends,
is that they carry away with them so
many years of our lives. Yet, if they
find warmth therein, who would
begrudge them those years that they
have so guarded?
And whatever they take,
be sure they have deserved."
~ John Galsworthy
