Mine were put on heartworm medicine as soon as I took them to their first vet appointments. Since your puppy is so small I would definitely get your vet's advice about when (and even if you need to) and get the correct dosage.
I know when I lived in Alaska they have no heartworms there nor fleas so no monthly medications were needed.
