Heartworm and Parasite Control:

We recommend a blood examination for heartworm disease to be performed annually in April or May. We recommend the use of heartworm preventative after testing during the mosquito season (May thru October). Pups less than 6 months old do not require the blood test but should be started on heartworm preventative medicine before reaching 6 months if this falls within mosquito season.

Our recommended heartworm preventative also has an intestinal wormer that protects against roundworms, hookworms, and whipworms. Internal parasites can infect humans especially small children. Year round heartworm preventative is recommended for dogs who have additional problem with intestinal worms.
