[QUOTE=FlDebra;953074]I wanted to switch to Revolution instead of using both a heartworm med and the flea and tick med. But I was just at the vet yesterday and he told me he does not recommend Revolution for dogs. Cats yes, but he said it does not work for dogs intestinal worms. He recommends Sentinel or Interceptor + Advantage or Frontline Plus. He said the Heartguard Plus was okay too but the Sentinel and Interceptor had the added benefit of protecting against Whipworms, even though they were not prevalent.
So.... I am continuing on the Heartguard Plus + Frontline Plus until I use the rest of the Heartguard ... then I am switching to Sentinel + the Frontline Plus.[/QUOTE
MY VET GAVE HANNAH AVDANTAGE FOR FLEAS BECAUSE OF HER SIZE, 2.8 LBS. SHE GAVE HER INTERCEPTOR FOR HEARTWORMS AND I THINK THAT WAS BECAUSE SHE WAS SMALL TOO BECAUSE SHE GAVE MY LAB PUPPY SENTINEL. EVERYTHING IS SO CONFUSING. ONE VET SAYS ONE THING AND ANTOHER VET SAYS SOMETHING ELSE. I AM NOT TOO CRAZY ABOUT PUTTING A CHEMICAL ON HER THAT ABSORBS INTO THE SKIN INTO THE BLOOD STREAM AND LASTS FOR 1 MONTH...THINK ABOUT IT...IT COULDN'T BE TOO GOOD FOR THEM...I AM AFRAID OF SOME TYPE OF NEUROLOGICAL EFFECT. I READ ABOUT THE HOLISTIC BRANDS AND THEY DIDN'T GET VERY GOOD REVIEWS....BUT I DON'T WANT HER TO HAVE FLEAS AND TICKS OR INTESTINAL WORMS EITHER. I HAVE HEARD ALOT OF GOOD THINGS ABOUT REVOLUTION FROM OTHER YT MEMBERS. I HAVE READ THAT IT WORKS BETTER THEN ADVANTAGE AND FRONTLINE FOR FLEAS. |
