In this brief segment of a podcast released for Heartworm Awareness Month, the host explains what canine heartworms are and why they are hard to detect. Heartworms are described as thin, almost transparent thread‑like parasites that live in a dog’s heart and lungs. Because they are not shed in the feces, they cannot be seen in a dog’s stool, and outward symptoms are minimal—typically just a subtle increase in lethargy. The purpose of the segment is to raise awareness that heartworm infection can be silent and to encourage listeners to ensure their dogs are protected, especially during the awareness month.
