Your dog's Heartworm prevention?

[cali]

Heartworm prevention is a MUST if you have misquitos in your area

if you have the right KIND of mosquitos in your area. we have loads of mosquitos here but heartworm is non existant as we dont have the type of mosquito that carries heartworm.

Mister is on the Sentinal where as it protects agaisnt fleas as well. Here once I get a hard frost I stop the frontline for the winter. But I continue with the Hw. He doesn't mind it i put it in those pill pockets and he eats it thinking it is some sort of yummy treat. Jack (the foster) Is also on the same thing just a different doasge where he weighs more,

Lucky!!! HW is such a problem here! We get on avgerage 3-5 HW Possitive dogs a week at work.

ramanth, That prevention killed a lot of dogs. Kia was a lucky girl! There is another HW preventative out now that uses a lot of the same stuff in it as ProHeart 6. The vet a work for refuses to carry it.
