And I'm smack dab in the middle of it! So, of course, I keep all my animals on heartworm meds. Ticks are real bad in Alabama too, and we use the full round of meds to prevent against worms, ticks, fleas, heartworms, and some intestinal worms. Sentinel + a topical treatment for ticks and fleas in the summer months when we take them outdoors more. My vet does a heartworm check with every yearly, even if the pet has been on preventatives the full year. I can't chance not having Luca Dean on the full regimen and would probably do it wherever I lived. Bugs and worms just really creep me out. |
