Symptoms of heartworm disease may include loss of appetite, lethargy, exercise intolerance, weight loss, fever, dyspnea (difficult, labored breathing, shortness of breath), coughing, weakness, dull dry coat, and hemorrhage. There are no symptoms at all until the disease is advanced.

Class II patients usually exhibit coughing and unusual intolerance to exercise.
