Personally I would wait. IMO it's enough that a young pup still has vaccinations to go through without adding pesticides to its immature system. |
yeah see that is why I am hesitant, because she is going through the vaccinations. I dont want to put anymore on her then absolutely needed. no he has not done a heartworm test on her. only test he has done is fecal, unless you test for heartworm that way. but last I knew you did that from blood dont you?
I think im going to wait.
