How often should my dog be tested? - Advanced Animal Care
We recommend testing at least once a year. And that's per the American Heartworm Society. If you're in a heartworm-heavy area and maybe you're not keeping your pet on prevention, you could do it every six months, but the best protection is keeping your pet on prevention.

How often should my dog be tested? - Ridgetowne Animal Clinic
It is recommended to test your dog twice a year for heartworms. Mississippi and Louisiana have the highest incidence of cases of heartworm disease in dogs in the United States. There are some reports of resistant strains of heartworm disease in Louisiana, so it is essential to ensure that the heartworm prevention products are effective.
