Hey Stephanie,
A great sign that we are a world wide community, caring about our animals!
Here's what's been working for decades to keep heartworms out w/o poisoning: my Drug Free Heartworm Prevention.
Ditto for fleas: Non-Toxic Flea Control
Other worms have never been an issue in my patients, and I think that starts with good food.
You're at the cusp of a new life, so those wise decisions you make now will have long term good consequences for your new pup.
