I read an article a while ago that said that all the US has heartworms but in certain climates you only have to give it during the season. Some warmer moist climates have them year round. Said that one lady was told not to worry about giving her dog medicine during the winter. The dog got heartworms and died. IMO, it's worth the $28 or so dollars every three months for the peace of mind.
