American Heartworm Society Announces Updated Guidelines on Management of Canine Heartworm Disease

Holly Springs, NC (April 9, 2024) – The American Heartworm Society (AHS) has published an updated version of their Canine Heartworm Guidelines on heartworm prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. The update, available on the AHS website, was completed after a thorough scientific review by a team of authors from the fields of parasitology, cardiology, and clinical practice. The revisions were based on the latest research and understanding of heartworm management, while also addressing questions frequently posed to the AHS by veterinary practitioners. The guidelines can be found at heartwormsociety.org/guidelines.
