Some personal observations about the ProHeart 6 "Recall"...

Fort Dodge doesn't exactly *say* what, if any, "effect" the
product failure HAS on treated dogs.

The Ft Dodge Letter to VETS just tells them to Not Sell any MORE
doses of the recalled product -
doesn't say or suggest a thing to do for or with dogs who
already Received a dose from the recalled lots.

The Wyeth / Fort Dodge Animal Health / ProHeart 6 "Gang" have
added several pages the their PH6 web site -
Seems like Damage Control to me...

Wyeth / Fort Dodge PH6 product page
with a *link* to the proheart6.com page >>

www.proheart6.com

The proheart6.com page has a *click link* titled
"ProHeart 6 In the News" -
which gets you to a "Rumor Letter" addressed to
"Dear Dog Owner".

"ProHeart 6 In the News"

The "In the News" ("Rumor Letter") has two links to *questions & answers*
that Fort Dodge claims to have sent to the Boston and Chicago
news media who had broadcasts critical of PH6.
Here's those two "Q&A" links >>>

Q&A to CBS - Boston and
Q&A to CBS - Chicago

Bottom Line...?

Wyeth / Fort Dodge certainly is NOT admitting that their ProHeart 6
product is either Questionable nor Unsafe.

Even the FDA hasn't really said anything "bad" about the product.

There's been enough warnings for ME -
Cinder & Smokey will NEVER see a PH6 shot!

And even if you have a dog (Collie-types) who shouldn't use
some of the "other" heartworm preventatives like our current
Heartgard Plus -
I'd strongly suggest you and your Vet pick anything
except ProHeart 6 to protect your dog!!
