| ProHeart6 Warning-just sharing A friend shared this on her facebook timeline and it was very alarming. I thought I would pass this along. Being a new pet owner, I probably would have done the same thing these owners did. Dog Owners Beware | ashleysassaman |

| I am so very sorry for your loss. What a tragic, unfortunate, circumstance that your vet was not up to date on his pharmaceuticals. I would certainly ask him why you were not given the form to sign, that included the warning signs of drug toxicity. If you had only been made aware of the signs and symptoms of drug toxicity, you would have alerted the vet and Jack could have been saved. How very sad.....We have got to be able to trust our vets to be informed and up to date in their practice...they hold our pets very lives in their hands, and when their knowledge in a particular area is limited or fails, our precious babies will suffer for it. |

| This is why I never try anything "new" until it is no longer new. What a hearbreaking story. That poor baby dog, dying alone like that, so, so ill. It's so wrong.

| Thank you for sharing that information. I feel so sorry for the people who lost their dog in that manner. It was so unnecessary. I'm not so anxious to try "new" drugs. We all need to learn to research things before we accept the word of a vet that something is so great. It shouldn't be that way, but it is...

| Poor Jack Please let your friend know that her vet should be held accountable for this, along with the drug company. That poison should not still be on the market with this many adverse effects Please relay my deepest sympathies.
