🐾 **When to Start Heartworm Prevention for Puppies** 🐾
Did you know that heartworm disease is a serious threat to our furry friends? It's important to start heartworm prevention early to keep them safe and healthy. Puppies can begin heartworm preventative medication as young as 6 to 8 weeks old. This early start helps protect them from this potentially deadly parasite, which is spread by mosquitoes and can be found in all 50 U.S. states.
For puppies under 5 months of age, heartworm prevention can begin without a prior heartworm test, as it takes at least 6 months for a dog to test positive after infection. However, if your puppy is older than 5 months, it's crucial to get a heartworm test before starting any preventative medication.
Remember, annual testing is recommended even if your pet is on year-round prevention, as no method is 100% effective and missing a dose could leave them unprotected. Consult your veterinarian to ensure your puppy receives the right dosage and type of preventative medication for their size and health needs. Let's keep our pups safe from heartworms! 🐶❤️
