| Kalina82- thanks for the info. My vet said they had taken off the market and it was back. Since my friend Lisa's sweet Piccolo had such a bad reaction to her shots I have been very cautious. I think my vet is good and we have been with her a long time, but something about this shot made me uneasy. Don't think we'll do it. Thanks again.

| I use Revolution on Deegan. It's a great all in one preventative for heartworm, fleas, earmites, mange & ticks. One dose on the the neck and he's protected for the month. If you do decide to go with this, be sure to get the correct dosage for your pups weight.

| That is most likely ProHeart6. It was taken off the market a couple years back because of concerns over it causing an unreasonable amount of deaths. It was recently brought back and personally there is no way Ellie will ever come near the stuff.

| I use interceptor because the dosage is in a range I believe to be acceptable for the little dogs (2-10 lbs)...It protects against heartworms, hookworms, whipworms and roundworms...Not that my little darling would ever be exposed to such disgusting little creatures lolol... |
