You may also want to consider Revolution. We use it on our two dogs all year long. It offers some tick protection (we live six months in Florida and six months in Canada).

By the way, it is MUCH less expensive to buy pet meds online than at a Vet's office. Our Vet does physicals on our two dogs yearly, and then his office faxes the prescription for heartworm prevention to the online pet med company.
