How to protect my dog from heartworm, fleas, ticks, and mosquitoes?

Question

Can you please tell me about heartworm and the symptoms in a dog? What should I do to prevent it from happening and how to protect my little guardian angel? And please tell me what is the best anti flea/thick/mosquito/heartworm preventative? I was thinking about K9Advantix || but not sure if we have it in Sarajevo! And tell me how the heartworm test is done? I'm kind of scared. Pet's info: Dog | Maltese | Female | unspayed | 3 years and 10 months old | 4 lbs

Advantix is not protecting you dog against heartworm so it's not a very good option, you would want a product that covers also for heartworm such as Revolution or Advocate (although heartworm is not a real concern if you live in Bosnia). here is alink that will provide you all the information you need regarding heartworm: https://www.heartwormsociety.org/pet-owner-resources/heartworm-basics
