Dogs should be tested for heartworms before beginning a heartworm prevention program, or when changing from one heartworm preventive to another. 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.ogs should be tested for heartworms before beginning a heartworm prevention program, or when changing from one heartworm preventive to another.

I like to start heartworm prevention at some point during the puppy series of vaccines (8-10 weeks of age). The puppies do not have to be tested first because the life cycle has not had time to develop. Past 6-7 months of age, the dog should be tested prior to starting heartworm prevention.
