| We use Sentinel. Relatively small, chewable tablet. The pups tolerate it well...no issues so far! |

| We switched to sentinel about 9 months ago. Before that we used heart guard. Both are good products.

| I use revolution for my yorkie girl, which is a topical flea/tick med and includes heartworm protection (even ear mites and a few other things). So far so good

| Emmy hates Heartguard Emmy hates Heartguard, but I trust it. I used it for years with my little Mozart, and we never had a problem. Any suggestions on how to make her like it more. I have tried peanut butter, pill pockets, cream cheese, and she can always sniff it out. |

YT 500 Club Member | needed? I've been using sentinal for years. But I read somewhere it's just a gimmick to give your dogs depending where you live. Is it really needed? I live in central cali. Never go to mountains with them. Thinking of not using anymore. Plus have had other kinds of dogs in past that never used heartworm meds. What's true about really needing it?
