Hi, I'm Laura.
We will be getting our first Cavalier, a puppy, in about 2 weeks. I am trying to get information from Cav. owners about flea and heartworm meds. I live in northern California and it doesn't get very cold here, so fleas and mosquitoes can live for much of the year.
Did any of you start your puppies on flea and heartworms meds. right away or did you wait until fleas were present in the home or you noticed mosquitoes flying around?
There is so much debate about what we are putting into our pets and is it all necessary, I just wanted some advice. I'm trying to put together a list of topics to discuss with my vet. (vaccinations are on the list too). Any input would be appreciated.
BTW, thank you to everyone for welcoming me to the group.
