consult an animal doctor and take the medicine they give you.
There are a number of preventative medications on the market. After a simple test, your veterinarian will prescribe them to you. The test must be preformed to make sure your pet has not already become infected. Treating an animal that is already infected could cause complications. The most common medications are in tablet or pill form and given orally once a month during 'mosquito season'. There are also topical treatments for dogs such as Advantix that will help keep mosquitoes away from your pet. However, this is not actually marketed as a preventative for heart worms. It is just an extra step. It also helps not let stagnant water accumulate in your yard where your pet may drink it. This is where mosquito larvae will be.

When do the signs of heartworms start showing in dogs?
Normally when it is too late to treat. A dog will not usually show symptoms of being infected with heartworms until the number of heartworms becomes very large in the heart. Therefore the chances of treatment working is not as good as too many heartworms in the heart to clog the heart valves as they die off due to treatment. This is the reason to have your dog checked first for heartworms then put on once a month treatment to prevent the H/W. Also your Veterinarian should test your dog once a year for H/W just to be on the safe side. Symptoms of a severe case of heartworms include coughing, tired all the time, color is not good, bluish at times, etc.
