Does anyone ever feel dog mom or dog owner shamed? I give my babies heart worm medicine and flea and tick medicine every month. Lately it seems like people want to shame those that do it by saying well your poisoning your dog and don't you love them and stuff. It bothers me because I feel like a good dog mom. Heartguard has been around forever and I feel it is safe and much better to give that then let them get heart worms and possibly die from the very expensive treatment of that and be left with heart issues the rest of their life. I also feel like because I take mine to dog events, training (some if it is outside), and that they go potty exclusively outside that they need protection from fleas and ticks. If they do get fleas they could take over the whole house and cause them to have so many issues especially Callie with all her allergies. We also know ticks can give nasty illnesses to. Whether its a pill or a topical it still goes into their blood stream. Anyway I used to never get human mom shaming but now I get it because I feel like I'm getting dog mom shamed. I feel like I do my homework and research and do what I think it best for my babies.
