How do you remember to give heartworm preventative?? How do you remember to give your pups the once-a-month heartworm preventative? :confused: I messed up big time, and now Gizmo and Kandi have to have the heartworm test before they can start taking the preventative again. Oh man!:( I'm so mad at myself. The vet's assistant says that she actually tapes the pill to the calendar. That sounded interesting. It comes in a blister pack, so it would still be wrapped. How do you remember??? |
I've created a monthly reminder on my cell phone. It's the only thing I've found that actually works. :D |
The Heartguard I give comes with little heart stickers that I put on the calendar each month. We start at the beginning of each month and that's when I always look at the calendar to see what's coming up for the month, birthdays, anniversaries, etc ;) |
I use those little stickers that come in the pack and stick them on the calendar day in the next month....i also use my iphone calendar and i put the alarm on for that day so it will remind me....also the calendar on my laptop! So i have three ways to hopefully remember!!! so far it works for me!! Good luck!:) |

That's a good idea! I had that before, but it went off while I was at work and I'd forget by the time I got home. :rolleyes: I guess I could set it for a certain time of day like 7pm? Is that even possible? |
When living in Texas and it was necessary for heartworm meds I used Computer Calander.....that was the first thing that popped on when I turned on the computer. Programmed it as a recurring monthly appointment.....every 30 days. Dependent on the heartworm med you use you have a 15 day leaway...... |
I always give Sophie her heartworm preventative medicine on the 1st day of each month. Just a habit!!! Her flea prevention medicine is also given at this time since it's once a month also! |
Do you have an iPhone? I know on the iPhone calendar, you can set an alarm, and then a 2nd alarm to remind you at a later time. I don't think you can set the alarm for a certain time though. |
We use...what is it called? Ivermectin?? Anyway, I don't think those little stickers come with it, but I could buy some heart stickers or draw a heart on the calendar each month. :thumbup: |

I have Outlook on my computer, so that's a possibility too. Thanks! |

You will be able to put reminder on your blackberry. We use the stickers with Interceptor, and I have my calendar hanging on the fridge so I see it all the time. |
I use Yahoo calendar for a whole bunch of stuff / reminders - one of them being heartworm. So, every month on the 30th - I get an email reminder (to my hotmail address) that it's Heartworm time on the 1st :)! I also have all birthdays and other events set up at Yahoo calendar too. I like Yahoo bc when you set up an "event" or a "reminder", you have so many choices (as in, send the reminder 14 days before or 1 day before etc) and "repeat" event. |
