Hmmmm ...
The cost of the Heartworm TEST (not factoring in the basic Office Visit charge),
is MORE than the cost of 6 months of preventative.
My math tells me you ought to have the Test done one time, and then just
keep Oreo *ON* the preventative year round (all 12 months).
If you never miss a dose of preventative, you don't need to re-test.

Even in 'chilly' Ohio, I've seen too many hungry Mosquitos *sputtering* around in
the garage and basement in mid-Janyary to risk not giving Cinder & SmokeMutt their
Heartworm preventative for all 12 months of the year.
