Question by Anonymous: My dog is late on heart worm medicine. Help?
My dog took her heart worm medicine a little over a month ago, she should have had her medicine about a couple weeks ago. Could she have gotten heart worm already? Is this serious?

We are going to call the vet in the morning to ask, but if anyone has any answers now, that would be great.
(She is taking it now, by the way)

Question by Sassy: What will happen if i don’t give my dog heart worm pills?
I used to buy heart gard from the vet all the time. But I stopped because it got too expensive and I don’t have the money. I don’t walk my dog at parks or anything like that. I only let her out in my backyard to do her thing and let her back in. She is not an outside dog. She is a 20 lb. fox terrior and is 6 yrs. old and in healthy condition. She’s only been to the vet for shots and has never been sick. Is this okay not to give her heart worm pills? I love my dog and want her to live a long time, but can’t afford them. Buffy is a very active Fox Terrior and plays all the time. I recall having dogs growing up and we never gave the dogs heart worm pills and they lived a long time. Is this just another way for Vets to get money from us? Or are these heart worm pills crutial for dogs to live a healthy life?

Probably nothing. We don’t give our dog heartworm pills and he’s fine.

You have to weigh what you can afford and what you can’t.

Question by ~*Starr Gazer*~: Would You Still Get Your Dog Heart Worm Pills?
I was never updated by my vet that he needed his heart worm shot and medicing in May. Well now its almost September and my dog and I were just told he was suppose to have it then. I am so mad at my vet that I have gone to another vets. should I worry about still getting this done for my dog? or is it to late for it to help him if hes been exposed to Heart worms? I mean I am scared for him but everyone is saying the pills don’t even really help anyways and also that the dog wouldn’t get them because hes hardly ever outside. what would you do? he has like 3 months left for the pills but do you think I should just wait?
I live in Maine and we don’t do it all year long, we do it from May to December. even in December they say we don’t need it and they only recommend from my vets that you just get the test every year.

Heartworm meds do keep our dogs from getting heartworms and in some areas of the US it’s extremely important.

I’m not sure where you’re at and how bad heartworms are where you are – this is really a question for your vet.

Here in NW Oregon – I test for heartworm each year and then use preventative meds only in the summer. BUT we do NOT have a lot of heartworm in my area.
