Heartworm is just too serious. I'd rather medicate for it then have to treat later (preferred treatment is injections of an arsenic compound deep into the back muscles...no thank you or slow kill with Heartgard).
ok thanks c for explaining the differences as i know minimal on this since i have never had to use it in the past
