I live in Northern VA. This winter is supposed to be really cold so I don't think we'll have any mosquito problems. With that said.. maybe I can skip December/January treatment and wait for Interceptor to come back. But I will buy Heartgard in case there's longer delay. January is their full exam date so I think it'll be ok. They get full check ups twice a year. (I think they have better health plan than most ppl I know. LOL)
I've read in passing that Interceptor might not come back? That an upgrade version would take its place? Any of you heard/read this?
Btw.. Oscar/Dream88, I just love those pics of your furbies!!!!! |
I have heard it is not good to skip months on heart warms because of how long it takes the worms to grow or something like that. Also if you do decided to do that the dog needs to be tested for heart worms before you start them back on prevention because if for some reason they got heart worms and take the prevention if can cause death.
