Going From Heartworm Vacc To Monthly

[Gretel]

I have two adult boys here to rehome. They had heartworm vaccinations last year when they had their yearly vaccinations. I don't like the heartworm vaccinations and would prefer they don't have them again but how do I swap them over? They aren't due for vacc until later in the year but I'd like to know how to go about it so I can tell the new owner. Is it just a matter of once the year is up start them on monthly treatment again?

TIA

You would just need to start an oral heartworm preventative when the heartworm injection would be due to be repeated (so 12 months after the initial injection was given).

The time frame is actually 13 months after the injection as it works 12 months in advance and the monthly tablets work one month in arrears.

I have just done this with my two under instruction from my vet.
