As the others said - yes to flea treatments all year round.

For the worms, they need to be wormed regularly as well.

To cover both you can use a product such as Advocate, a topical application that you do monthly, which kills fleas, flea lava, prevents heartworm, controls intestinal worms, demodectic and sarcoptic mange, contols ear mites and lice.

There are other brands, also available from your vet that do the same or simlar.

They are availble for all sizes of dogs and puppies.

I never treat my dog for fleas because he doesn't have them and never has. I only give him his heartworm pills in the summer.

Yes treat them all year long. You should also worm your dog(s) I believe it's every month after they are a year old. Talk to your vet about all the medications and any other question.

Dogs that live indoors should be treated for fleas on a regular basis, even in winter. How often will depend on the length of effectiveness of the particular treatment you use. With modern centrally heated homes, fleas can survive all year round. Also, even in colder homes, the eggs can survive, buried in the carpets and upholstery for several years until a warmer spell 'wakens' them.
