Also, heartguard has a guarantee on their product: if you give every month and do a heartworm test they will pay for the cost of treatment if your dog gets heartworms. Your vet requires this test and won't let you buy without a prescription because they care about the health of your pet. so far as prices of each vet and the meds - that varies from vet to vet. If you think your vet is just in it for the money - why do you go there? |
Every heartworm med has a guarantee. I use Intercepter, which is the same as Sentinal...prefer this brand because they are more fine tuned to weight of the dog.
However, I don't think any Pharmacy will fill the heart worm meds without your vet's prescription.
