My vet told me I didn’t have to test for heartworms if I gave my dog the heartworm prevention medacine before she is 6 months old.

Are you always supposed to get your dog tested before giving them the medacine because it can kill them?
The vet told me If I gave her the heart med before april 15th she wouldn’t have to be tested for it.
My dog is 5 months old almost 6 months.

Im such a paranoid person when it comes to this. I would personally get the dog tested anyway. Its harmless to pay the extra money to get the test.

Ok im sure your vet knows what they are talking about, but in my opinion its not going to hurt the dog to get that one extra test.

but if the vet said its fine then don’t worry about it. I told you im just a paranoid person when it comes to my dogs lol.
