I'm sure she means intestional worms, I doubt a dog would survive multiple heartworm treatments.

Actually they can, but it makes them (pardon the pun), sick as a dog afterwards.

We've had several clients that just don't seem to believe in preventatives so they have put their dogs through HW treatments every couple years because of their ignorance. Grrrrr :mad:
