Preferable Heartworm treatment?

dosing with ivermectin, or using one of the commercial treatments?

just wondering what people are using these days….. i've been using ivermectin, but i'm down to 4 dogs and thinking that i might be more regular with my treatments if i buy a preventative…...

Re: Preferable Heartworm treatment?

My vet is recommending SENTINEL. I want to cover heart worms, but also tend to use Safeguard 1x a year, and advantage or frontline for fleas…..want the least toxic product…..any suggestions or feedback?

Re: Preferable Heartworm treatment?

What's preferred is that preventative is given every 30 days, not every 45 days. The recommendation of 45 days for treatment was gravely wrong and those who were recommending this are now retracting that information. Unfortunately not everyone is paying attention.

There was a GREAT article in LQ about this in one of the past two issues…try to find it…excellent
