"Monthly heartworm" refers to a preventative medicine given to dogs on a monthly basis to protect them from a parasitic infection called heartworm disease, which can be life-threatening.
Full definition
The adopter is expected to update the dog's vaccinations yearly, or as their vet recommends, and keep them on
monthly heart worm preventative, also per their veterinarian's recommendation.
Joey is utd on vaccinations, heart worm negative, neutered, dewormed and utd
on monthly heart worm and flea / tick preventative meds.
All dogs MUST receive
a monthly heart worm pill (Interceptor, Sentinel or HeartGuard Plus).
Please try to understand that it is very expensive to get a dog spayed / neutered, updated on all shots, heart worm tested, fecal tested, wormed, give
them monthly heart worm medication, flea & tick medicines, etc..

I have several spells of the year where the 3 dogs get infested with fleas, even though they've been on
a monthly heart worm and flea pill, and I have to double up on them with topical flea treatment as well.
I don't like
the monthly heart worm much either, but I do give it to my dogs anyway.
Being part of a dog rescue group and many dogs going thru our rescue we use this as
the monthly heart worm treatment for the dogs, including my personal dogs under Vet supervision.
