But these products were tested on animals. If that's not okay, then why buy them?

Some flea products are losing effectiveness and there is some indication that a new strain of heartworm could require more preventatives to be made.

It's better that if a member of you family (people or pet) has a very serious disease, that they go with the drugs available right now (that were tested on animals) instead of creating more drugs that could be better?

I want my family to have the very best even if that requires animal testing. I have no desire for them to be the guinea pigs. And there is just no way that drugs can be used without trials. Food could be, but it obviously has the potential to cause a lot of harm (just look at the BB vitamin D toxicity issue), so IMO it shouldn't be.

I think Hill's has a very fair promise. I hope they stick to it because they get respect from me over it.
