Default Heartworm

I give my yorkie and my lab Interceptor for heartworm. I use Advantix for the fleas. When we first got our lab, my breeder told me she preferred to use the heartworm pill and then the topical treatment for fleas. She said that she felt she was poisoning her dogs otherwise. So I have always done that with Maddie (my lab).

When we first got Sadie (a month ago), the vet gave me some Sentinel, but this month I asked for the Interceptor and got some Advantix.

I had a friend who used Revolution on her dog and he couldn't take it. It hurt his skin. She is now using the Interceptor and Advantix and he doesn't mind it at all. He still gets afraid when she comes after him to put the Advantix on, but when she puts it on him, he seems ok. He finds out that it doesn't burn the way the Revolution must have for him. He probably has very sensitive skin (he is a mixed breed of some sort).

Just my 2 cents.

Good luck with whatever you choose.
