These parasites have the potential to impact human health. Therefore, we recommend at least one fecal test yearly to monitor for potential infections. Giving heartworm preventatives year round can significantly reduce your dog’s chance of becoming infected with many of these parasites since most heartworm preventatives contain an intestinal dewormer.
