I don't worry so much about fleas.
They can be dealt with after the fact.
But I'm amazed more people don't give a heart worm preventative.
Our Vet told me heart worm is common in Florida and can kill a dog.
Bonanza says don't kill pests unless you see them.
Am I worrying needlessly about heart worm?
