    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.

    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.

    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 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.
