Heartworm & Heat: Double Up on Year-Round Protection for Your Pet


Summer in Brisbane brings all the buzz—literally. Mosquitoes thrive in the heat, and while they’re annoying to us, they’re downright dangerous for our pets. That’s because they carry heartworm, a parasite that can cause serious damage to your pet’s heart and lungs.


Heartworm is spread by mosquitoes, making your pet vulnerable year-round, but especially during summer. Left untreated, heartworm can lead to severe lung disease, heart failure, and sadly, death. Prevention is the best medicine, and there’s no better time to ensure your pet is protected than right now.


One of the most convenient options? The yearly heartworm injection. It’s a quick and easy way to keep your pet safe without the hassle of monthly treatments. Plus, if your pet is already getting the yearly Bravecto Quantum tick and flea injection, it’s super convenient to pair the two and cover all your bases at once.


I used to forget to give my dog monthly treatments all the time—it’s easy to do when life gets busy. The yearly injections? Game-changer. One visit, and my pet’s protected from heartworm, ticks, and fleas. It’s a no-brainer.


Now’s the perfect time to think ahead about your pet’s health. If you’re looking for an easy, all-in-one solution for ticks, fleas, and heartworm, ask us about pairing the Bravecto Quantum and yearly heartworm injections. Less hassle, more peace of mind.
