Heartworm Awareness Month

Apr 22, 2019

CALLING ALL PET ADOPTERS 50% OFF HEARTWORM PREVENTATIVE AT BARC IN APRIL

HOUSTON – BARC, the City of Houston’s Animal Shelter and Adoption Center, is offering discounted heartworm prevention to all dogs adopted during the month of April as part of Heartworm Awareness Month.

“Heartworm disease is easy to prevent but very expensive treat. Left untreated, it can be fatal for dogs and limit the length and quality of their lives. BARC encourages all dogs be kept on preventative heartworm medication to avoid illness,” said BARC spokesperson, Jennifer Barrera Wandrey.

All dogs adopted through the end of April are eligible to receive 50% off 6-month boxes of TriHeart or Trifexis (up to 1-year supply) when purchased at the time of adoption at BARC Animal Shelter & Adoptions – 3300 Carr Street, Houston, Texas 77026. Puppy adopters may purchase less than 6-month supplies.

For more information about Heartworm disease, visit the Heartworm Society at https://www.heartwormsociety.org/pet-owner-resources/heartworm-basics.

The simplest, but most powerful thing Houstonians can do to help BARC and pets throughout the community is to foster, volunteer, donate and adopt. If you are unable to permanently adopt a pet but would like to help animals in need, BARC encourages you to consider becoming a volunteer or a foster pet parent at BARC. By getting animals into foster homes, BARC has more space for additional animals as they enter the shelter.
