My DIL is a vet tech but is a stay at home mom now..she told me One of their clients had a dog who tested positive for HW after getting their Heartguard plus from an online vendor instead of them. The company refused to pay for treatment because it wasn't purchased from the vet.

I think the devil is in the details....I read it that you must have TWO negative tests, 6 months apart, BEFORE you begin Heartgard, then be on it for 9 months and THEN have TWO positive tests.

Who gets heatworm tests 6 months apart??

It doesn't actually say where the Heartgard must be obtained.

Actually, reading it again.....looks like the left side is 1800petmeds saying they will reimburse $500 if you purchase from them...."no hassle" the right side is what the mfg requires (the stuff I wrote early in this post). Of course, I ordered from foster&smith, so who knows.

No idea of the cost of the treatment and whether $500 is close to covering it.

I do know some people don't give it over the winter (the 9 month rule for coverage) so they would lose out. I give it all year because my little girl 1) loves it! 2) rolls around in the grass with her boyfriend and you never know when the firs mosquito will show up.
