One note, I use heartguard for G & B (not the chewable, the other) and the tab I buy is the bigger tab which I cut in half, giving each 1/2. This is being done at my vet's rec as it is slightly cheaper.
Hmmm...now you are worrying me.
Couple of other thoughts: I don't adminsister heartworm or flea/tick meds during the winter.
I called the vet in April (when it began to warm) to double check if I needed to have them tested for heartworm before I began. They checked there records. For some reason, I had the testing done in December (I think I was taking them for their annual shots), and since it had been cold they said go ahead and start up.
Then, yesterday (coincidence?) I realized I had missed their May pill. I called the vet, because I had always been told once a month. They weren't even concerned, since I only missed one month they told me it would be safe to administer now.

Great link thank you, I did want to tell you that you that certain pills can't be cut in half, they are not guaranteed to have the same ingredients in each half. It should say on your box. You could be overdosing one, and underdosing another. There are some brands you can cut in half.
