ok so we go to two vets like stated before and the one he has tried to sell me that before when i first took dd to him as he only sees dee dee not dex or demi. He tried to sell me interceptor and frontline plus. I refused as my other vet does not recommend it for my area especially in my dogs with issues. They said they have only had two calls my being one as he sells it to everyone of his clients so everyone is on it already. He has not seen any cases of heart worm.

Now the other vet who is more natural in approach said she has not heard anything proven in our area that this mosquito causes heartworm. She stated if she hears anything we will be notified immediately so she is checking further into it but due to mine having health issues she has told me to hold off until she gets more information. She has not seen any cases of heart worm either.

I do not live real close to this area though so may be why

I hope others here will post what their vets are saying and information as I always like to educate myself to make the best choice for my dogs
Whatever microfilariae has built up for 30 days, the Interceptor kills them. It only works for certain lifestages of the microfilaria. That's why it's important to get it early.
