What is the best heartworm prevention for dogs?

Heartworm prevention for dogs is an important concern for every pet owner. Prevention is an important part of providing essential care, and heartworm disease prevention for dogs is something every owner can do. There is no ‘one size fits all’ best treatment. Different regimes work better for different households

DO have your veterinarian test your dog each year for heartworm infection.

It takes roughly 6 months for an infection to

be detected with a standard heartworm

test, so if your dog becomes infected, this

schedule helps ensure early diagnosis and

treatment.

DON’T skip testing just because your dog

is on year-round heartworm prevention.

While this will likely keep him or her

heartworm-free, if you miss a dose, are

late with it—or your dog spits out or rubs

off the medication—it could create an

infection opportunity.
