OTHER RESOURCES Finding and telling stories One of the most effective client education tools is the real-life stories of other pet owners and pets the practice has seen ( Box 1 on page 26). AHS resources The AHS offers members and nonmembers many nonbranded client education materials at heartwormsociety.org . Brochures, videos, infographics, and heartworm preventive waivers are among the numerous tools available to help busy practitioners. Educational websites Clients desiring links to informational websites may be directed to heartwormsociety.org , avma.org/ public/PetCare/Pages/Heartworm-Disease.aspx , or capcvet.org . PetMD.com also has a very practical, informative page on heartworm disease and prevention. Educating and re-educating clients about heartworm disease can be challenging. A team approach to heartworm education not only helps lighten the load but also ensures the message breaks through.
