I agree, and Tiki doesn't like the treat kind anyway. She would have been due for a dose on Nov. 15th, but I'm holding off in case more blood work is ordered in the next few weeks. However I do like protection against parasites, maybe just paranoid since we've gone thru tape worms and coccidia already. I've become a poo inspector, ha ha, (and yes have found rubber bands, compacted kleenex and Barbie shoes).
