There is one called Sentinel Flavor-Tabs that is an once a month oral medication given for the prevention of Heartworms, fleas (doesn't do ticks), roundworms, hookworms & whip worms. It does it all once a month.
You can also use the topical medications that are a bit cheaper such as Frontline, put directly on the skin once a month to prevent fleas & ticks. Then, for the heartworm prevention, which is extremely important, you can give orally something like Iverhart Plus or Iverhart Max which is the generic version of Heartgard and much cheaper than Heartgard.
There is also another topical one that does it all but topically (put it directly on the skin). That one is called Revolution, which protects against heartworms, fleas & ticks, plus a spectrum of other internal parasites. If you wanted just one treatment for all, then I would recommend this one, Revolution, as it prevents more things than the oral medication Sentinel Flavor-Tabs, but it is put on topically and not given orally. Check with your Veterinarian too about these different medications to see which one he or she would choose. I personally use the Frontline once a month for prevention of the fleas & ticks and the Iverhart Plus for the prevention of Heartworms, roundworms and Hookworms which is an oral medication. My Veterinarian likes the Revolution, once a month topically, which does it all. It is a personal and financial choice but just make sure your pet is treated once a month YEAR AROUND for prevention against Heartworms, Fleas & Ticks and internal parasites.

If your pet has never been checked for Heartworm by your Veterinarian, then have your pet checked first with a little blood test, to make sure she or he is heartworm free before starting them on a heartworm preventative.

yes. But it also depends on what type of tick they get, the dogs age and how strong their immune system is.
