As for the fact that your Yorkie doesn't get walked outside, does he ever go out? In the backyard etc? Or is he completely an indoor dog?
Heart worms are much more prevalent in the US and it’s transmitted by mosquitoes so it dosen’t matter if the dog is an indoor dog or not mosquitoes get in your house.
