Note, you'll have to buy a separate heartworm medicine. I use Heartgard Plus (given monthly).
We used monthly heartguard and our lab tested positive for heartworms a few years ago. After treatment he was fine. Heartguard is effective on the larval stage, and doesn't work after that. Some research has indicated that heartworms are evolving to have a shorter larval stage and the monthly heartworm dose may miss the window of effectiveness. We give it to our dogs every two weeks now and have had no more problems.
