In 2013, three out of four veterinarians diagnosed patients with heartworm. According to the American Heartworm Society, heartworm-positive pets were reported in every state in the country, including Oregon. And while weather conditions favorable to mosquito proliferation and transport of infected dogs were viewed as contributing factors, client compliance in giving heartworm preventives was identified as the clear tipping point for incidence rates.
