| I don't mess around with heartworms. I am much more lax when it comes to the flea/tick topical meds. I don't like putting chemicals on him every 30 days so I spread it out until I see a tick. (I tend to do every other month in warmer months, and not give it at all in the colder temps). But ticks/fleas are a heck of a lot easier to deal with than heartworms. I also do not believe in yearly vaccines (or even every 3 years as AAHA protocol is) and I do believe any vet who is doing yearly vaccines is in it for the money. No doubt. But heartworm meds? Doubt it. If you are not squeamish, check out this heartworm removal surgery: http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/gen...g-graphic.html

As for your vet comment...I agree...either that (money) OR they are not up to date...and in either case I would run. They definitely are not into HW preventatives for the money...it is a very, very real threat.

I started using Revolution on Max and Sophie, its been 3 weeks and she is scratching ( not nearly as much as before ) and I a find a tick on her. Is it safe for me to use Revolution AND Confortis? What do you all think...
