Ive seen an ad on TV where a vet said dogs should be kept on on Heartworm/Flea meds all year long. Is that true?
It’s true for those geographical regions where the risk of heartworm or flea infestation is present year-round. If you live in an area where mosquitoes or fleas are not active all year, or in a situation where infestation is very unlikely, your dog’s body will be better off not having to process potent chemicals constantly. Some products will also remain effective when given in smaller doses or less frequently than every 30 days. Together we can assess your situation and come up with a treatment plan you’ll feel more comfortable with.
