I just found out that certain chewable heartworm tablets are *useless* unless they are actually chewed up by the dog.

I use Interceptor so they do chew those up but others *must* be chewed and often are not

Their last dose, I pounded them into powder and mixed it with cream cheese, just in case..

Just a bit of info for those who use them.

Also, they are not actually necessary every month, lasting 2-3 months, having to do with something about the life cycle of the worms.

Have not checked out that part myself, so may just be anecdotal.
