Can someone give me what info I need on what is needed and when and why, etc. Thanks

Okay, a lesson on heartworm.
The life cycle of the heartworm is 6 months.
A mosquito bites a dog with micro-filara (Heartworm eggs sort of), then goes and bites a dog without, the MF are injected in to the dog's bloodstream and take 6 months or so to develop into an adult heartworm, which then produce more MF, cycle starts over.


It is NOT necessary to pump your dog full of poisen every month all year!
I give my dogs Heartworm prevention ONCE every 5 months,
starting when they are 6 months old or in the spring, whichever comes first. This kills the MF and keeps adult heartworms from developing.
This is what I DO, has worked for me for as long as heartworm preventatives have been around. (Over 20 years.)
Got my flame suit on!
