Heartworm prevention schedules

4512 Views 19 Replies 14 Participants Last post by  kafkabeetle
I know seasonal heartworm prevention relies upon typical weather, since heartworms can only survive in weather that is consistently above 55 degrees for some period of time (correct me if I am misrepresenting this). The schedule for my area is June-November. But since we've had a pretty mild winter, should I be amending this schedule in any way for the best protection? Any information or opinions on this are greatly appreciated.

I keep mine on year round. Not only for heartworm prevention but the parasitic prevention benefits also.
