Stop twisting my words. No one said your vet was lying. I said vets had a financial incentive to sell the meds, because they profit from them handsomely (obviously she'll write you a prescription to buy the meds elsewhere--she's required by law to do that). Vets were bombarded by the pharma companies when these meds were first introduced to convince them to recommend monthly "prevention," and the promise of easy money certainly helped, until it became a common practice. This happens to pretty much all new drug categories (for animals and humans). Some pharma campaigns are successful, and some aren't. The heartworm campaign was massively successful.

It's funny how you didn't do research about getting a puppy from a reputable breeder yet you know all there is to known about heart worm hmmmm....

Look, lady, first of all, you have no idea where I got my puppy from. If you want to start another argument about breeders, go open a new thread or reply to a bunch of existing ones on that topic.
