Please be very careful if you do this and check with your vet. The medication that Joey is given is very safe, and he could eat several in one month with no ill effects, in fact, some dogs have eaten a whole package without any ill effects. However, if you skip a month, and then forget to give another dose, you could be giving the next dose when heartworms have already gotten to the heart, and this would prove deadly to the dog.
