I do not know anythign about this subject since i've never had puppies so young before so i just bought home the meds.

Can you please give me insight on why it's not recommended. I'm googling it, but not getting enough info.
If any of your pups are under 2 pounds....don't do it. But 5 or 6 months is fine. If your mom was on heartworm meds, they've obtained immunities from her.
