Heartworms disease in dogs is a serious disease that results in severe lung disease, heart failure, other organ damage, and death in pets. It is caused by a parasitic worm called Dirofilaria immitis. The worms are spread through the bite of a mosquito. When a mosquito bites a dog, it ingests larval heartworms, which eventually circulate in the bloodstream of the infected dog.
