Your dog's Heartworm prevention?

What does everyone use for HW prevention. I've been using Interceptor for a while now. It's just a chewable pill you give your dog once a month.

Heartguard....going on 10 years.

Maggie takes Revolution so it's an all in one deal for her but the little dogs take umm Heartguard.

heartguard for many years now

All three on Interceptor

Nothing. Heartworm isn't an issue here.

I use Revolution for the cats. And interceptor for the dogs.

I use 2 different vets -- one for my pets and one for the fosters. Neither recommends Revolution for dogs.

And the rescue I foster with does not permit us to use Revolution on the dogs.

I don't use HW protection for the same reason as Shelteez.

Interceptor

The kitties aren't on heartworm prevention (never had an issue with it with them, and seeing as how they are inside only cats, I don't feel the need to), but the dogs are on Heartguard...going on 12 years that I've been using it. It does an excellent job, and the dogs love it as well. :)

I've always used Heartgard. :)

I've considered using Revolution a time or two. I just don't like that it doesn't prevent ALL types of worms. It does get rid of adult fleas too though. I just use Frontline as flea and tick prevention.

Don't use it wonder if i should

guineapiggy, if you have mosquitoes in your area then it's a really good idea to use it. Heartworm treatment once the pet is infected is really expensive and has a high mortality rate. We always recommend it even for indoor-only pets, because mosquitoes can definitely get inside a house.

I give Jasper Heartgard. The vet I work for told me that from what he has seen he doesn't feel that Revolution is very effective for dogs, so there went my idea for an all-in-one treatment for Jasper. :) I think the demand is high enough that Revolution will try to reformulate a more effective dog formula soon though.

I do not have him on flea prevention. I've only ever once found a flea on him (and with his sparse fur it was EASY to spot) and when that happened I gave him a capstar to kill any lurkers. I've considered Advantage or the like...if I find a flea again I probably will put him on it.

Interceptor for my 3.
