When did you How old was your yorkie when you stared giving them Heartworm medication. Thank:confused: |
Don't remember exactly but it needs to be started before 6 months. If I was to do it over, I'd probably start at 4 or 5 months. |
Our vet started mine on it at 5 months. |
my two oldest started late (grrrrrr another reason why i was so unhappy with my last vet :mad: lol) ... i want to say they were about 8 or 9 months old? thank goodness their heartworm tests came out negative and i got them on - year round - right after my youngest, bree, was started on heartworm at about 16 weeks...my vet wanted her to get to a solid 2 lbs and start right away |
Thanks, Sam is 5 months so I guess I should get started. |
that is a good question...thank you for asking that! |
Around 6 months.... |
Juicy was around 4 months old when she started. The vet waited until she was 3lbs. |
I was at the Vet yesterday and Baxter will start heart worm medicine next visit (10 Days) and he will be 4 months. Walter |
Fiona got started on hers at 4 months old. |
I don't remember exactly but I think it was around 6 months. |
I'm not trying to hijack the thread but I noticed a couple people said their vets wanted a certain weight before starting the heartworm meds. Is it better to go by weight first or age? |

What's the best heartworm medicine? And (I don't have the package near me rigth now) but does Frontline include heartworm? Or is that just fleas and ticks? |
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get your dog to actually take the pill? My puppy just sniffs it, pushes it around with her nose, and then turns her back to it. :rolleyes: |
