| How do you remember to give heartworm preventative?? How do you remember to give your pups the once-a-month heartworm preventative? 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. |

| 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

| 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. 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.

| 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. |

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | 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.
