Is it true that dogs in mosquito-endemic regions need monthly heartworm preventive medicine to avoid heartworm disease?

Yes. An FDA-approved veterinary label states that for prevention of heartworm disease in dogs, the product must be administered on a monthly basis, starting within one month of first mosquito exposure and continuing monthly through mosquito season. A peer-reviewed overview confirms mosquito-borne dog heartworm disease and discusses prevention strategies.
