Sentinel sounds ok. I'm just so leary of any drugs going into my baby.  But since she's outside alot & we live in the good 'ol south which is horrible for fleas, she will need something. Oh, decisions... |
Please be aware that not only do we have fleas, but also mosquitoes!Sentinel covers fleas and also is a heartworm preventative. Mosquitoes carry heartworms! If you do not know about heartworms, please go to this site and read about them:
American Heartworm Society Preventing heartworms is cheap....treating for them is not and can kill a dog!
There are other options for heartworms and fleas which you can discuss with your vet. I personally use Sentinel for two of my pups. It covers heartworms and fleas. On my others I use Heartgard (for heartworms) and Advantage (for fleas).
I have never had a problem with ANY of the heartworm or flea preventatives. Avoiding them on the remote possibility of an adverse reaction could be deadly for your pup. Heartworms kill.
