Deb, as you know, Lady has multiple health issues, too, and is basically an indoor dog now that she is so old. She only goes out on my patio or in her stroller. Here in the Southeast our risk of heartworm is so high she has to get a preventative. My vet assured me that the dose is very low and is also out of her system in three days. I have had no problems with Interceptor even though Lady does have liver disease from years of seizure medication.

I'm sure California vets are weighing the risk of heartworm on a case by case basis.
ok thanks so much as i am nervous

if it is out of system in 3 days how does it protect them for 30?

I need a crash course on this gals
