Great. No disrespect but would you put a gun to your head to play that game? I have to ask why you would do it to your pup. Poor babies don't have a choice in your little game as you refer to it.
Again I ask....do you test them for heartworms and how often? What will you do if one does get heartworms?....that is IF you test and IF you know before the poor thing is choking to death from the worms.
I really don't comprehend people saying they won't protect their pups due to "insecticides"....what do you think will happen if they get heartworms? Have you thought that out? The treatment would be against your beliefs...so your pup, if it had them, would simply suffer and die?
