| It is recommended that it be done yearly. I get it done at their annual appointment and then buy a years supply of the meds at that time, that way it is easy to remember when they need the test again, when the meds are empty it is time to get re-tested.

| ZoE has never been tested & she's on her second month of Interceptor. She'll be 20 weeks old this week. Is this because she was born in the winter?

Annualy is fine They do need to be tested annualy for a refill on a preventative and if they've been off a preventative for over 1 month, they'll need to be tested again before going back on it.

| Phantom Queen Morrigan Donating Member  | Last I heard, if the dog is on HW preventative year round and doesn't miss a dose then they can be tested every 2 years. they need to be tested at one year old and then after that they can start the every 2 year test.
