Cat Heartworm Treatment
Town & Animal Hospital Country offers the best in terms of prevention, diagnosis, and cure of limitless medical issues in cats.
One of the most important things when caring for your loved cat is to ensure that they are living a life without the complication of feline medical conditions. A potentially fatal condition caused by heartworms living in the organs of cats like lungs, heart and blood vessels causing extreme complications including organ failure and lung diseases. The treatment of Heartworm disease varies from species to species.
Symptoms:
- Cough
- Vomiting
- Asthma Attacks
- Appetite Loss
- Seizures
- Abdominal Fluid Retention
Effects:
The manifestation of heartworms in cats may not flag any immediate danger but if kept unattended for long can pave the way to substantial medical conditions including respiratory diseases.
What are the immediate steps to be taken?
These signs are not always conspicuous but if they occur, take your cat down for a check-up immediately to avoid any further complications. It is important for the cat owner to monitor the cat to look for any signs of heartworm manifestation. Heartworm treatments often result in the cat to collapse. If any such instinctive or physical change is noticed, your cat definitely needs medical attention right away.
Other related diseases:
Apart from Heartworm Treatment, Town & Animal Hospital Country offers excellent Dental care in cats which is often overlooked by the owner and as a result develops periodontal diseases.
Also, you can receive world-class treatment for skin infections in cats that are common and can range from minor to severe infectious growth.
Moreover, our veterinary pros help to cut down any probable obesity-related diseases in your cat by providing the best treatment plan.

We were told about this vet by a family member, and they really surpassed our ur expectations. The staff is so friendly, prompt and knowledgeable. I really appreciate that they take the time to fully & thoroughly answer as many questions as you have. We are so happy with the treatment our dog receives here and it feels great knowing we can trust the staff to take great care of our animals! Definitely recommend.

I have been a vet tech for 26 years. I'm the history of these counties. I even work at my own vet. Love my Dr's and co-workers. However my vet lacked the experience and skills to get done what my pup needed.Dr Craver and Staff were Great!!! All nice and compassionate.Dr. Craver smart, intelligent and a good surgeon!! 😇😇😇It's nice also not to get turfured off to the speciality clinics and pay their high prices.I will be making more future visits and recommending Town and Country

I am very disappointed, because this Vet is a reproductive Vet, and wanted her to be my Vet, I feel I must share that if anyone needs health certificates for their puppies DO NOT GO HERE! I am a responsible breeder of 40 years. I know how things work. They kept me there 2 1/2 hours while they decided finally they could not do health certificates, if a dog is not yet placed. I am licensed , and was fined by Animal Control, because Dr Carver did not do her job. The Animal Control Officers said they had never heard of such a thing...local VETS DO GIVE health certificates for pups that have not yet been placed. All the time! They charged a ridiculous amount of $, for something I could not use. Her writing was illegible, for my puppy families to read. I was FINED for their MISTAKE! Its such a shame...I REALLY wanted this to work. Red flags, desk staff rude in the past...seemed really unhappy. I kept going because I WAS TRYING. She made a mistake and would NOT OWN IT. SAD but true.

We live in Michigan and spend our winters in Naples, Florida. We prefer to take our 3 year old Labrador Retriever to Town and Country Animal Hospital for her yearly vaccines and examination. They are kind, compassionate, and knowledgable. I trust the Veterinarian's at TCAH. The staff are courteous , helpful and nice. I give them an A+

Town and Country always has been our vet. The staff and Dr Jane are so helpful in treating my Venus. Very patient and understanding my concern for my dog. They always find the issue with my dog and treat her accordingly.

Brought our 3 pets in for grooming which should have coat $180. One of needed a shot, which we expected to cost more. By the time all was said and done, our bill was in excess of $480 without our approval or being told before any services were provided.I would suggest you get an explanation of charges prior to dropping your pet off at their facility.

I went here based on the good reviews and should’ve turned around when I first saw the place. Not clean and in a bad area. But I gave them the benefit of the doubt. Got my dogs nails trimmed and they made her bleed on 4 nails. She also had teeth cleaned (which was a huge stretch of faith) the doctor called me and very clearly said she needed to pull two teeth. After picking her up, the doctor had pulled three teeth. Without telling me. She also was having an issue with eye allergies. The doctor gave her some medicine that didn’t even work. Had to switch over to a different veT and pay over $100 to revisit and fix her eye issue that this place didn’t. I can’t believe all the positive reviews on this place.

I have been so pleased with all of the staff at Town & Country, Dr Chet is phenomenal and our Vet Tech Madison is a pure joy, taking extremely great care of my cats. They always take the time to explain the health report in terms that I can understand and I appreciate their loving care for my pets. I highly recommend Town and Country!!!

We are visiting from out of town and my Rottweiler was suffering from an ear infection. Town & Country Animal Hospital made it quick and easy to be seen as a new patient. My dog is VERY difficult at the vet and they handled him extremely well. Dr. Jane was great. She asked so many important questions about my dog's overall well being, even though we were there for an ear infection. Highly recommend their veterinary services!

Needed a Naples veterinarian for my pup’s updated immunizations. Town & Country took us in within a week of me contacting them and they were amazing. The office staff, vet tech and lead veterinarian were so compassionate every step of the way. So pleased that we have found our “snow bird” veterinarian practice that’s also only 3 miles away. Bonus is they also have Science Diet products (amongst other items) for sale. Highly recommended!

The staff at Town & Country are the greatest and most professional, and both Dr. Carver and Dr. Jane have the best rapport with the animals, treating them as they would their own. The facility is amazing! What a delightful visit we have when we go to see the family at Town & Country!

My husband and I have been taking our dogs, Callie and Atticus, to Town and Country Animal Hospital for a few years now. Whether it is a well visit or a sick visit, Dr Jane and the entire staff are always outstanding! They are kind, professional and knowledgeable and we always leave knowing that our dogs have gotten the best possible care. We love our dogs very much and are very happy that we found such a wonderful vet and office staff!

The doctors and staff at the Town & Country Animal Hospital are professional and caring. They treat my dogs like they were family. Their facility is always clean. Very highly recommended!Updated July 2022 - As the years go by and as our dogs get older and eventually pass on, Dr. Jane and her staff stand ready to care for our furry family in a professional and compassionate way. Their offices and treatment areas are impeccably clean. Their access to technology and specialists inspire confidence in their care of our pets. Lastly, their compassion for our "kids" and ourselves leaves us feeling confident that we have chosen the best vet in town. Thank you Town & Country!

My dog is my baby and they treat her with the same love I give to her. That is very important to me. Dr. Jane is always ready to answer questions and give advice. I use their grooming service right next door also and I have been very pleased. So convenient and her groomer, Devon, loves her almost as much as I do. My entire street takes their pets here. Just like extended family.

Called to set a appointment for my dog that possibly has cancer and my vet referred me to town n country,. Talked to the first person and she set up appointment for me and took a 150 dollar deposit to hold spot and said that after Dr reviewed our dogs chart she would call us back, so 2 days later, since we got no call we called back and talked to a different person that told us many different things that were not true and acted like she don’t care about our pet or us for that matter, told us things and fhen did the opposite, so we called back and talked to the so called manager who told us the dr called and left a message with our vet which was false then said maybe the dr had wrong number but it’s on the letter head that our vet sent to town n country. But still didn’t want to refund our deposit because they don’t have the equipment to perform the procedure and they canceled our appointment. But yet we text messages and phone calls confirming our appointment that they cancelled! VERY POORLY RAN OFFICE, and no compassion for us or our pet…. To the staff if you don’t like your job then maybe you should find a new one. Found a new new place after research with our vet that when we called was very professional and caring! Maybe this is a blessing in disguise, our pet will be better off not going to town n country!!!

Dr Jane and Dr Carver are the most caring veterinary's in Naples. They have been taking care of my two beagles, Kelly and Gigi for the past two years. Unfortunately Kelly Passed this year. My little Gigi has cushings desease, and right now off the medication and in remission. They follow up with updates, and let you know the best route to go. The Staff are caring and polite. The hospital is spotless. Everyone that had any animal should go here and have the best care.

I recently brought my new puppy for his first visit with Dr. Jane. From the checking in process to the checking out process everything and everyone was exceptional. The Vet tech spent time going over his records from the breeder answered all my questions and Dr. Jane examined him, gave me all the information I needed to get my puppy off on the right track. I left knowing I picked the best Vet for me and my puppy

I recently adopted a dog from DAS and was recommended highly from multiple sources to go to this vet. DAS gave us a list of vets that offer free first exams which this vet was on. I called to book an appt and was told I needed to go online and fill out a form for a new client and would be called if there was an appt available within those 10 days (for free exam). I was called back and was told there was a cancellation and they could get her in the next day (I was thrilled and grateful). They asked if I had any concerns and told the lady that she had this weird cough and wanted it to be addressed on our visit. She informed me that there would be an extra cost if an additional exam or services were needed. I was totally understanding of that.We arrived at our appt and was not greeted friendly. The lady said “who are you checking in” I said my dogs name and she walked to the back and didn’t acknowledge me or even say go ahead and have a seat, the vet will be right with you. NOTHING. The other lady at the front asked if we had been helped since I was still standing there and I answered “I’m not sure” the lady who originally helped yelled from the back “they’ve already been checked in”.We get into the exam room and the nurse asked us if we noticed any issues or had any concerns. I told her about the cough I had told the lady who called to book my appt about. She said “ok well since she’s sick I just want you to know your free exam will not be honored since there’s an issue” we then told her she did not seem sick but we wanted to address the cough and that was not what we were originally told” (I reiterated my phone conversation with her) she said “well you were told misguided information and I apologize but that is not our policy” we decided to stay and continue with the exam since we needed to at least have her checked. The nurse came back in before the vet and continued to tell us that “we do this as a service to the community for healthy dogs adopted from DAS and are not responsible for doing an exam on a sick dog”The vet walked in and assessed the dog. She said she was not acting sick or had any other signs or symptoms but could probably say it was upper respiratory. She continued on about possible antibiotic treatment and how we need to highly consider receiving flu vaccine as well. There was no conversation about heart worm or other vaccinations that were needed.We left and paid the extra fee but am completely frustrated, confused and puzzled. How could a place so highly recommended give such horrible customer service without thorough direction or communication.

I highly recommend Town and Country Animal Hospital. Their staff is extremely friendly, helpful and professional and Dr.Jane and Dr. Carver are the best. They are extremely thorough and give you as much time as you need to explain everything. Our Labs are usually a little nervous before the visit but are then relaxed with the staff and Doctors during and after their visit. We have called for copies of our Pets records while out of state and the staff was extremely responsive, and concerned that our pets were OK. They sent us the records immediately.

We are so Happy to have Dr. Jane, Dr. Carver, and staff in our Lives!We have 3 Cats and a Dog now, but when we first came to know Town and Country Animal Hospital we had 7 cats and 2 dogs. With the help ofDr. Jane and Dr. Carver and staff we were able to get them on a healthypath. Due to age we lost some of our cats and dog, The Doctors and Staffwere there for them and Us every step of our journey. The caring and understanding was amazing!! The Doctors always explained what was going on so that we understood how to take care of our animal family. We even received sympathy cards in the mail!! Wow!! You are Truly Amazing!! I would tell anyone with pets to go to Town and Country!!Thank You All!Marion and Andre Vaughan , Pets: Skiddles, Rascal, BJ and Play Vaughan

Dr. Carver and her staff are top notch. They have taken care of my dogs since 2015. To explain and show the compassion and dedication they have to their jobs I can sum by many examples. I will state my latest one: I have a Jack Russell Terrier who is 18 years old, she was under Dr Carver’s care until I moved to another part of Florida in August of 2019. Recently my dog has been declining. I reached out to Dr Carver’s office for advice. Her staff informed her of my situation, mind you I am no longer near the office and she hasn’t seen my dog since July of 2019, Dr Carver called me and we discussed quality of life. I asked her could I send her some videos of her and she said of course. When Dr Carver saw the video she called me and advised with such compassion to do what is best for my beloved Dotty. I am eternally grateful for Dr Carver and her staff for the care they provided me and others I know that trust their animals to her care. Dr. Carver is not only a vet she invests in the parent of the fur baby. I love you all at Town and Country! Naples this is the best vet and office in SWFL!

My dog broke 2 teeth and had to have roots removed. Dr Chet and her staff at Town and Country Vet were so sweet and curteous yet professional. I received calls after we went home to check on his status. He was actively running around the next day and feeling great. Thanks Dr Chet, Staci and all the girls in the office.

Dr. Jane and staff are always attentive and caring. Dr. Jane has researched causes and treatments of my cat's chronic ear problems, and offers options for moving forward. She also provides advice on daily issues such as feeding an overweight cat. I trust the information I'm given, and appreciate the care and quality of the services provided to my animals.

Dr Jane performed a dental cleaning on my ten year old cat, Sami. I was a bit concerned. because of his age and he had experienced a slight reaction to the anesthesia during his last cleaning. Dr Jane reviewed Sami’s previous vet records and thoroughly explained the anesthetic process she would use. Sami came through the cleaning with no after effects at all. Thank you, Dr Jane and the kind and very capable staff. Randall, Sami and I appreciate you very much!
