I am not a vet. I imagine it is a good idea to test for heartworms using
the CITE Snap test before beginning heartworm preventative. I don't know
if it is required or not but surely a good idea. My crew have been on
the liquid preventative for a couple of years until this Jan when I
started them on Revolution.
