ivermectin is the same thing as heart gaurd but for pennies on the dollar. It is very rare for a health dog to die from heartworm. You can literally administer ivermectin orally yourself.
even if you get your pets yearly rabies vaccines, your vet will instruct you to come in asap for a booster if the animal was in contact with a suspect animal, as the vaccine may have worn off or not worked..... so whether or not you get yearly vaccines, you still have to get a booster upon exposure.
first puppy vaccinations are only effective until the second set of shots.... so they only work for a month or 2 and can be skipped. No long term protection.
