Hi and thanks for posting on Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! HeartGard would be my recommendation. It is approved for use in breeding females, females that are pregnant, or nursing. A yearly heartworm test from Lucy's veterinarian is typically needed in order to receive heartworm prevention. I hope this helps!
