[color=blue]I have a question about this whole heartworm thing. Does you dog have to take heart-worm medicine once a month, for every month in its whole life? The vets keep telling to give my puppy heartworm medicine. My mom doesn't want to pay for it through out my dog's whole life. If Snickers does have to take it for his whole life I'm thinking that my mom can pay for two years, and by then I'll be old enough to get a part-time job, and I'll be able to pay for it. Good idea?[/color]
