Parasite Prevention and Requirements
*If your dog is being treated monthly with a heartworm preventative that also protects against common gastrointestinal parasites, a negative Heartworm Test and a negative Fecal Screen is required yearly.
*If your dog is NOT being treated monthly with a heartworm preventative, a negative Heartworm Test is required yearly and a negative fecal screen must be run within 2 weeks of arrival every time the dog is boarded.
Within the US, including Oregon, it is recommended that every dog receive a monthly heartworm infection prevention medication.
