My vet suggested I give him pepto with the Iverhart Max... I said "no thanks".
He was on Heartgard for over 6 years and never had a reaction.

Hopefully the Iverhart was what was causing my Rocky's problem (). She said one other person said her dog had a reaction also... it was also a small dog.

My other dogs seemed fine with the Iverhart Max but I am switching them all back to Heartgard.

I've used Intercepter for years...with no reaction......

Are you making sure that he has food in his stomach before giving it to him. It was a mistake that I was making early on.

I've heard that Revolution is great......it's a topical....protects against heart worm, and other worms, protection against mites and mange. The only problem is that it must be applied every 30 days....so you don't have a grace period like you do with Intercepter or Sentinal
