Hi everyone

I was just reading this and is very interesting. Thank you for the person who started this topic and for all the great answers. I am learning a lot

I was under the impresion that I had to give it every 30 days. I am getting a new yorkie 10 weeks old in 2 weeks and I live in central FL close to the coast . But I was suprise to see that we do have warm climate almost all year round yet on the map it only show as not having that many cases . Most are in the carolinas. That was weird. I thought the heartworm was transmitted by mosquistos and boy do we have mosquitos here. I am of the side of no pesticides but since I live in FL I really don't know what to do with the heartguard. I should give it right? I was really debating on this. I think even though I would hate to give this to my puppy I think I have to since here alsmost all year round is above 70. I think I may just space it to 45 days. What do you all think?
