Question by Chargers Chick: Is monthly heartworm medication for dogs really necessary?
I have 2 large dogs and every month I give them the heartworm stuff but because they’re so big it’s pretty expensive. They’re indoors 80% of the time by their choice, I think that’s typical of Great Danes though, I think that might be why they’re sometimes called Castle Dogs But anyways so because they’re indoors so much whats the chance that they’d really get heartworms? How do dogs get heartworms? Am I wasting my money? I want to keep my dogs healthy but I don’t want to buy the heartworm meds if its highly unlikely that they’d get heartworms anyways. What do you guys think? Thank you in advance for your answers.

Dogs get heart worms from mosquitoes. Mosquitoes can very easily get in your house. And it only takes a few seconds for the mosquito to bite your dog when it does go outside. Yes heart worm medicine is necessary and worth the money.

Question by barbmastman: Do we really need to give our dogs heartworm medicine?
My dog barfs after taking his monthly dose of heartworm medicine. It’s like clockwork! My dog is mostly an indoor dog, does not go to kennels, and only is outside when we walk him or if he goes in the backyard for short periods of time.
