IMPORTANT... Hi,
Once a puppy is started he should stay on it for life. I totally understand about wanting to save $$ because I have 2 six month old pups. anyway. does he go and stayout for long periods??? if it were me and the vet would sell me just 1 pill thats what I would do, you need to have a prescription to mail in I think so you need to see him anyway.... Missing a pill will mean he MUST be tested again for heartworms.. you CANNOT give pills unless you know for sure that he DOES NOT have it, giveing the meds with out testing is very dangerous. so u need ro decide what is the most cost effective for you.
GOOD LUCK... let me know if you need more info..
