Hi,

I was wondering if I had to give my Yorkie some kind of heartworm preventative? I don't think she has any worms.. I heard you can tell from their stools, but I don't see any and she is rarely outside.. only goes outside to potty. Should I be giving her some kind of heartworm preventative thing just to make sure.. or is it unnecessary?

I read from YT that Frontline was a good flea/tick remover, should I give that to her too? She doesn't have any fleas, but isn't that for just preventing fleas? Sorry, I am a little confused on these areas, so if anyone knows that would be great, thanks!!
