Even if it expired after only 2 years, it's still much cheaper than Heartguard...
Well darn...I had emailed w/ the owner a while back asking about shelf life, and now I cannot find the email, lol ! But it was a very long time for shelf life. He was very helpful and responsive, btw, if you feel like contacting him. You give 1/4ml every month for dogs 5-19lbs.

Some people will say one should order the pill from the vet instead, so that you have that "guarantee" if they get heartworm..but part of that whole thing is just marketing to get you to buy from them. If you're giving prevention EVERY single month, religiously, then you truly do not need to worry about *paying* out the nose for that little "guarantee".
