you need to have the dogs all tested for heartworm... call the vet and see.
they need to be on a heartworm treatment, especially in the midwest where we live, because heartworm is prevalent here.

Why have puppies if you're going to keep them outside? They are very sensitive, and heartworms are only one problem of many they are facing. Spay and neuter your pets!

Applying a product called advantage that will repel the mosquitoes will help and then also giving them a heartworm preventive like heartguard or interceptor will prevent them from contracting heartworm disease if they are bit by a mosquito.

Keep them inside! Do you really want your pups to get heartworm because they'll make a "mess" inside?

Take your dogs in the house!! Dogs shouldn't be left outside. That is not a good thing.
