Thanks - I just had a guy stop by and talk to me about his dogs and he said that it wasn't necessary to give this medication all year long, said it was a way the vets make money - we don't have a huge mosquito problem here - isn't that what's causes the disease? It's winter now so there are no bugs, but it would take just one bite right?
I really want to do the right thing here. It's worth it to me to be safe and not sorry.
Whoops I was writing this when Rottie posted - that answers my question We're only mosquito free during the winter.
