For pups six months old or older that haven't been on preventative, a heartworm test should be given before starting medication and the dog tested six months later to be sure there are no parasites. Annual tests thereafter ensure your puppy stays healthy.
Dogs that are already on heartworm preventive medication should also be tested periodically. The âprepatent periodâ for heartworm disease (the amount of time it takes for microfilariae to be produced) is approximately 6 months in a dog. During this time, heartworm tests will be negative even if a dog is actually infected. Therefore, puppies younger than 7 months old are generally not tested for heartworms. Instead, puppies should be started on heartworm preventive medication (usually during their puppy checkup visits) and tested when they are older than 7 months.
