Heartworm Prevention Common Questions
There are a number of common heartworm prevention questions that many people have enquired about so it seemed like a good idea to cover some of the main concerns here. The best possible way to ensure that your Pets never test positive for heartworms is to use a preventative every month of the year. If not every month then for as many months as possible or that can be afforded. We have a great selection of prescription free heartworm medicine options as well as a few that need a prescription from the vets.
Let’s address some common concerns that many pet owners have. If you have a question please simply leave a comment and we will reply as quickly as we possibly can.
What Is The Best Heartworm Prevention
Many people wonder just what medication is best and to be perfectly honest they will all work just as well at ensuring that adult heartworms never occur. The only difference is that some are applied externally and some are given in tablet form.
Nuheart is popular for owners that wish to use a tablet rather than a topical solution but find their pets do not like to swallow pills. It can be dissolved in liquid such as milk so is very easy to give and one of the very few soluble heartworm pills on the market.
But Heartgard Plus is the most popular tablet or chewable as they come in tasty treat form. Advantage Multi and Revolution for Dogs and Cats are great options if you wish to also treat for fleas at the same time. It cuts down on cost and is very quick to simply squeeze on to the skin.
Should I Use A Heartworm Prevention Every Month
If mosquitoes are present then we do recommend this. But if you get cold winters without mosquitoes then you do not need to. But if a pet is without treatment for more than a few months then it should be tested at the Vets for the presence of heartworms and this test can be costly so we feel it is cheaper for the owner and safer for the animal to treat them every month of the year if at all possible.
What Is The Best Brand Of Heartworm Prevention Meds
As previously stated it really does depend on what your personal medication preferences are. We recommend using the links at the top of the page or the sides to read more about each medication and then make a decision.
When Should Heartworm Prevention Begin
Most of the medications are suitable for Pets over 6-8 weeks of age and we recommend that you begin treatment at this age and no sooner. It simply is not necessary to begin at an earlier age as exposure to mosquitoes will have been minimal to say the least
