I don't know if heartworms are common in WA or not...they are VERY common here in Texas and will cause major heart disease and death if not treated..and the treatment is very hard on them and sometimes fatal as well. So we have to use heartworm preventative year around in TX. I suggest talking to your vet about heartworms and asking if preventative is necessary in your area or not.
