1. Preventative Medicine The American Heartworm Society and many veterinarians recommend year-round preventative medication. Medications can be administered orally or topically, and prevention is far more effective and less costly than treatment if your dog is diagnosed with heartworm. But, remember that preventives are not used to kill the adult worm and some can cause severe problems if given to animals with adult heartworms. You should follow the recommendations of your veterinarian prior to giving the preventive product. 2. Keep Your Home & Yard Mosquito Free It may not be top of mind, but mosquitos can also be a threat in and around your own...

 The Old Farmer’s Almanac lists the traditional period of the Dog Days  as the 40 days beginning July 3 and ending August 11, coinciding with  the ancient heliacal (at sunrise) rising of the Dog Star, Sirius.
