I personally use a parasite tincture that contains black walnut hull, wormwood, cloves etc. I get it at Whole Foods. I use it myself about every 6 months when I do a cleanse. I researched it and found that it works for heartworm in dogs too. Google "dog black walnut hull and heartworm", you'll get lots of info, however, don't get caught up in the pricey hype. My tincture is by Herbs etc and so far so good. I start Roxy off with about 4 drops on her food and increase daily until 10 drops and then do ten drops for about 2 weeks. Here is a site to start with- most of these dogs already had heartworm. Roxy never had them, I just started using it for prevention.
