Two of my pups are on Sentinel because I could not get them to eat the Heartgard.

At the vet clinic I work at, we tell people if they start heartworm prevention before the age of 6 months, there is no need to test until the following year. If you wait until 6 months or older, you need to test first. I've used Heartgard for years in my dogs, many different breeds, with no problems.

Yes!! Emmy hates it too. I've tried cream cheese, peanut butter, pill pockets. We even tried a hot dog which we would normally not give her. She did eat it in the hot dog but it upset her stomach. We work at it every month, but I still trust Heartguard because I used it with my yorkie who lived to be 16. He loved it though......
