Newgreymom Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 We will be visiting California for 2 months in Jan and Feb. Do we need to continue with Interceptor? Not sure what CA protocol is for heartworm protection.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KF_in_Georgia Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 I'd say yes. Aside from heartworms, Interceptor protects against other parasites. And temperatures in California can stretch over a wide range, depending on where you are. Quote Kathy and Q (CRT Qadeer from Fuzzy's Cannon and CRT Bonnie) and Jane (WW's Aunt Jane from Trent Lee and Aunt M); photos to come. Missing Silver (5.19.2005-10.27.2016), Tigger (4.5.2007-3.18.2016), darling Sam (5.10.2000-8.8.2013), Jacey-Kasey (5.19.2003-8.22.2011), and Oreo (1997-3.30.2006) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbhounds Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 Definetly ---as a side note they are finding heartworm disease in the CA Sea Lions now :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3greytjoys Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 Absolutely, pets must be kept on heartworm preventative throughout the year in CA. Mosquitoes are active during winter months too. January and February 2016 are expected to be a bit more rainy than in recent years. The benefit will be beautiful green hillsides (or snow if you're visiting the high mountain regions).

sobesmom Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 I know nothing about what's in CA, but I'd definitely continue Interceptor. There's really no reason NOT to. Even when we didn't have heartworm here, I kept my dogs on it while we were fostering to protect them from anything the foster-dogs brought in.
