Heartworm is again on the rise, according to statistics from the America Heartworm Associations (Heartworm Incidence Maps – American Heartworm Society). Heartworms can be deadly. Unfortunately, traditional heartworm treatment is expensive, painful and difficult. In recent years some veterinarians have elected to use an off-label treatment that appears to be safe and effective while also less painful, less expensive and less difficult.

Well, sitting right near LaGuardia Airport, and Citi Field–home of the New York Mets baseball team in the boro of Queens–the center is in a highly trafficked area where commuters travel through to get to and from Manhattan to the West and Long Island to the East.
