[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 355631, member: 1963"] ALL dogs need heartworm protection. Even inside dogs. All it takes is one bite from an infected mosquito. While deworming a heartworm infested dog is easier than it used to be; it is still hard on the dog, can be lifethreatening, and isn't cheap. The monthly preventatives, depending on which type you get, may also prevent infection with some other more benign parasites as well. I use Heartgard Plus, which is ivermectin based and not only prevents heartworm infection, but gets roundworms as well. Get your dog tested. If he comes up positive, get him treated. It is unsafe to use a preventative on an infected dog [/QUOTE]
