heartworm test, mosquito season in Ari

Bonbon is 4 years old Thai Bangkaew and we live near Ari, lots of mosquitoes behind the building next to the canal. Last year I was lazy and skipped the heartworm test for 2 months, then my vet told me to do it right away. Luckily he was clear, but I felt bad.

Now I set a calendar reminder on the first day of every month. The tablet goes in the morning with his breakfast, he loves the peanut butter flavour. The test is once a year and the vet says do it before the monthly tablet season starts, so for us that is around May.

For the house, I keep the windows with screen, empty any plant tray, and I use a fan in the bedroom at night. Bonbon sleeps in front of the fan, which is also cooler for him.

If you are new in Bangkok and your dog never went outside the city before, please still do the test. Mosquitoes are everywhere here, not only in the village.
