Hello and thank you for your question. Yes dogs do need their Heartgard every month to prevent heart-worm which is transmitted by mosquito's. It is important that you give it to your dog at the same day each month on the thirtieth day, this helps keep you dog safe.

Some other types of preventative medicines for your dog would be it's very first set of shots when it is about 10 months old. This includes vaccinations for Distemper, Parvovirus, Hepatitis, Rabies, Kennel Cough and many others. These vaccinations will help keep you pet safe and healthy.

In addition you should also use some type of flea prevention method like Frontline or Advantix as fleas can transmit diseases to dogs. Make sure to purchase the correct dosage for the weight of your dog as giving them too much can make them ill.
