Your pet doesn't have to be outside regularly to get hw. Just like Parvo, distemper, etc vaccines. It's a precautionary measure. You don't know the chances and they may be slim of them running into an infected dog/mosquito but it's better to be safe. Depending on how big your yorkie is and where you live. You may not have to take HW prevention all 12 months(none in the winter months) or if u have a very tiny yorkie some vets will tell u it's ok to split the pill. Just research, talk to several vets, and pet owners. The benefits in this case keep your yorkie happy and healthy!

Just a note on splitting the pill that can not be done with heartguard.
