We present a case of Dirofilaria immitis infection in a dog that was imported from Venezuela and had been residing in Santiago, Chile for 2 years, where this parasite had not been previously reported. Our findings highlight the need for surveillance of all imported dogs in Chile, as suitable conditions exist for the establishment of this parasite.

Our findings warrant surveillance for all dogs imported to Chile, given that suitable condi-tions exist for establishing this parasite.
