Does my dog need flea and heartworm meds if he only goes outside to potty?
This is a question that we often get from sitter and owners who work with Rover. Help the community out by answering them in our forum!
Most vets recommend it, no matter where you live--Your dog may only go outside for short periods, but fleas/parasites like mosquitoes can latch on to you, your clothes, or just fly in through the door, and you can actually transfer them to your pet, just by walking inside your home!
