What type of heartworm preventative are you using? I use to use Sentinel, but bought straight Ivermectin from the feed store. Saved a bunch of money.

heartgard plus

i would be careful with using straight ivomec, cut it with distilled water using a one to one ratio and spray it on a piece of bread to make sure they consume it all.

Down here on the gulf coast you need a good heartworm medicine.I use heartguard.If your gonna use ivermectin be real careful,you can kill your dog real easy.I used to worm my horse with it & have used it on dog's before...until I overdosed one.Never again!

i heard that interceptor will keep a bitch from coming into heat. anyone else know about this?

 

[gsphunter]

If that's true, then I'm switching. I currently use Heartguard, but if I could keep my dog from coming into heat without any adverse effects than that would be great!
