Are flea meds that prevent heartworms truly enough for my dog?

Question

Mia’s flea meds protect against heart worms, does this mean she’s okay or do I have to still do some sort of heart worms treatment so she doesn’t get them? I called my vet to do heart worm prevention but they know that her flea meds protect against it, why wouldn’t they say something? Thank you to the vet on here who told me to check the flea meds package. Pet's info: Dog | Pembroke Welsh Corgi | Female | spayed | 3 months and 23 days old | 25 lbs

You are very welcome! For most pets, Revolution is fine for heartworm prevention unless your area is experiencing very high levels of heartworm exposure or immunity to the product. Call your veterinarian and ask if there is a specific reason that he/she recommends an additional heartworm prevention. It’s always best to gather all the information! Also make sure to remind them she is on Revolution. Please feel free to post any additional questions.
