I heard a bit different about the testing thingy, the heartworm test is only necessary for dog older than 6 months old which not on heartworm prevention previously, why 6 months leh? my vet told me is because of the heartworm test can only detect heartworm after period of >6months (when baby worm become mama worm)... i'm kind of confuse with that, but she said the general rule is if less than 6months old, can start heartworm prevention without testing, if more than 6months old, must test, if positive go for treatment; if negative than go for prevention and she also told me that the best time for prevention is to start at 2 months old??? whatever lah
