Heartworm test Waiver

Heartworm testing is recommended:

  1. If disease is detected early, it is much safer to treat. Heartworms can live up to 5 years causing damage to the heart and lungs.
  2. To confirm that the medication is working as expected. Though prevention is very reliable, nothing is 100%.

Preventive Guarantee: Manufactures of prevention will pay for heartworm treatment if your pet should become positive. The conditions for this guarantee are:
   - Prevention is purchased from your veterinarian or accredited online pharmacy such as vetcentric.com
   - If started after 8 weeks of age, two negative test are shown six months apart.
   - Purchase history matches medical record for year round prevention

I understand that the Doctors at Community Animal Hospital recommend heartworm testing annually, with or without the usage of prevention year round. However you may sign a waiver every other year to continue refilling your pet's heartworm prevention. Heartworm testing is then required every other year.

I have read and understand the risk involved and choose to decline heartworm testing at this time. I do hereby release Community Animal Hospital and its staff from any liability should any disease result in my dog not being annually tested for heartworm disease.
