If my cat is on prevention do they still need a yearly heartworm test? - Loch Haven Veterinary Hospital
I still recommend it because there are some signs of resistance in certain cases so we want to make sure that we take care of that immediately.

Why is early detection of heartworm important for my cat? - Loch Haven Veterinary Hospital
Heartworm disease can be fatal to cats so the earlier we can detect it, the more likelihood that we can decrease inflammation and keep them healthier and happier longer.
