There are many good heartworm preventatives on the market that can help you protect your dog against these deadly parasitic worms. Your veterinarian can advise you on which one to use.

I learned, however, that I could request from the veterinarians a perfectly good alternative to the marketed heartworm preventative medications that is available for only a fraction of the cost of marketed brands.

This heartworm preventative medication is called Ivermectin in Propylene glycol. It is very inexpensive, and easy to administer.

Of course, before using this, or any other medication, consult with the veterinarian to discuss the pros and cons of usage for your dog.

Also you will need a veterinarian's help determining the correct dosage based on your dog's weight, and to receive instruction about administering the solution.
