Summary During the past few years, several localities with increasing  Dirofilaria immitis  occurrences have been identified in Slovakia; particularly in areas regarded as endemic for  Dirofilaria repens  up until now. In terms of that, dogs with clinically manifested heartworm disease have been referred to the veterinary ambulances more frequently. We report in this study, two autochthonous cases of  D. immitis infections diagnosed in two seven-year-old siblings of Tibetan Mastiff dogs from the Košice region of south-eastern Slovakia. The course of the disease in both dogs were very different. The female dog did not manifest any unusual findings, however the male dog exhibited severe clinical signs of heartworm disease that lead to his death. The subsequent autopsy revealed adult  D. immitis  worms in the right heart ventricle and pulmonary arteries.
