Heartworm prevention is needed for most dogs because of mosquitoes and the possibility of getting heartworms which requires a treatment that's really tough on the dog, but using a flea/tick product is optional. If you don't have fleas/ticks in your area, I would not use flea products because they are full of chemicals. If you don't have to give it, I wouldn't.
