I use a holistic recipe against heart worm, i dont want to pump her full with pestisides. |
I studied the life cycle of the heartworm/mosquitoe and until we have temps consistantly above 54 or so degrees (30 days without a break), I'll keep them off heartworm meds. Of course all the VETs recommend year round and I don't blame them. Why go through an education class when its much easier (and perhaps safer for the dog) to just go with year round.
