re: #148 Mad Al-Jaffee

Dog question for those of you who might be able to help:

I usually give my dog HeartGuard to prevent heartworms year round. She ran out last month and I haven’t gotten a new supply.

Aren’t heartworms spread by mosquitoes? If so, should I just keep her off the HeartGuard during these cold winter months when no mosquitoes are around?

heartworms are spread by mosquitoes.
However, imo, not a good idea to take the dog off of Heartgard during the winter - there are a few hardy mosquitoes that manage to survive the winter - I wouldn’t worry about the month you’ve missed.
