Yes, it is still recommended that dogs be tested yearly for heartworms even if they are on a heartworm preventative because it is possible for the dog to vomit up all or a portion of the pill without the owner knowing and thus allow a window for infection. The same is true of the topical heartworm preventatives, though the concern isn't vomiting but improper application.

Why you must know your blood group?

It is important to know your ''blood type'' (as it is referred to) because if you need blood, your body will only accept the blood that is your ''blood type'' Another reason, is that if you ever have the need to ''give'' blood, you can only ''give'' blood to someone who has your ''blood type''. It is advisable to carry around a card with blood type, in case of an emergency and you need blood. It will save time having the labs take your blood and test it while you might be dying.
