Mosquitos are responsible for a number of diseases in North America, including West Nile virus and heartworm. The former mostly affects horses, while heartworm is dangerous to dogs.
Where do mosquitos live? They rest in dark, shaded vegetation during daylight, and come out to feed at night. Mosquito eggs grow in water, and cannot survive without it. Prevention must include getting rid of any water sources you can including your pets' water bowls when not in use.
Keep your pets inside at night when mosquitos are most active; and leave lights off because they attract insects.
If your animals could talk, what would they say?
By sharing our concerns and successes, we all benefit.
Animals live to serve us one way or another, so knowing how to take care of them is critical for our mutual well being.
