well add up 7 of em....all mine are on sentinal and get tested. My mom had a great dane that had heartworms. She survived but she went thru he_ _ in treatment. Had to go to UC Davis. I will not subject mine to that. So for that reason its worth the cost.
The testing, I was told that they have to because if they have heartworms the heartworm meds can actually make them sicker. They need to be sure they do not have the worms before they can prescibe meds. But I agree, I think its a rip off. |
