| Heartworm prevention? Is it necessary to give heartworm prevention med? Is there side effects? My 3 yorkies got heartworm pill when being vaccinated. Do I need to continue to give it to them monthly? They don't go outside that often. I'm just confused

| Yes, IMO it is very nessasary...Do they not go outside to play, walk, or potty? Even if the don't go outside a infested bug might get in your house from an opening in a window or an opened door. I try to do what I can to prevent anything that CAN be prevented, and this is one thing that can be prevented! Hope this helps. Mary |

| Thanks so much. Yes, they do go out sometimes to play. I am going to take them to the vet. I wonder why the vet didn't tell me to give the med. once a month for heartworms?
