As for heartgard killing the microfilaria (baby hearworms), that is correct. It will NOT kill the adults.
ANyway...here: https://www.heartwormsociety.org/ Please be cautious....and my advice to you is to get insurance for any pup you adopt ... if you have money issues, you don't want to get caught up with a serious condition that you may not be able to afford.
Good luck! |
You would probably do well to start out with a healthy pup, rather than one with known issues that could easily end up costing you a ton of money to correct/treat.
