| WHO did your vet get an email from? Did you ASK? WHY would a company say there is NO wheat gluten in it? Please call your vet and ask..I will bet he got an email from this "Dr. Jones" as well. Merial does NOT RELEASE the inactive ingredients it Heartgard....so how on this earth would your vet know????? I called the company!! Why don't you do the same and ask your vet to call them? The contact information for Merial is: http://www.merial.com/contact_us/index.asp I was told NO wheat gluten from ANYWHERE. Someone else please call..and correct me if I am wrong....which I seriously doubt. |

Please tone it down a bit. Also, using caps signifies screaming or yelling on this board. Thank you kindly, Jessy

The original poster did not say that this was true, she said she heard about it and to keep our ears open, basically. Goodness... "I hope not, this is a Newsletter i got this morning, i called my Vet, and he said the makers of Heartguard usualy are pretty good of letting them know if there is a problem, and so far so good, but i thought i copy this letter so everyone can watch out !"

Thanks Jessy, Sometimes people like this get on here and try and get things going. Lady, I will listen to my vet before you. Have some respect will you! Who do I care who he got the e-mail from! It's not my business it's his mail. All I needed to know was, is it safe or not? I got my answer thank you very much. | |

I for one, would regret listening to someone who assures me everything is 100% safe and come to find out it really wasn't. An oopps, so sorry does not sit well with me. Everytime $$$$$ is a motivator.........I don't completely trust. I am also not one that wants to be told what I want to hear. I want to hear the truth and unfortunately when it comes down to business it might not always happen. Thank you for posting what your vet had to say Carol. As everyone else gets info...........I'd highly appreciate theirs too

| I would also like to see updates on what other vet's say about Heartguard or any other product our dogs may be on. Nobody's perfect and maybe as things change one vet might hear before another about any given product. Thanks in advance, |

| Thanks, thats all i wanted to achieve,just a heads up, not to spread rumors, just the possibilities, even if it is just a spam newsletter that i have been getting for over a yr. No one has to agree with him, as i know he is trying to sell a Product. But have read some interesting stuff, but that is my opinion !

BANNED! | I called my Vet.. they immediately contacted their representative of Heartgard!!! The representative said Heartgard is Fine, she will be posting this soon on their website, but apparently an incorrect rumor was started. |

BANNED! | I would rather be safe and over protective with my babies!!! I know alot of YT'ers will fully agree. Thats why I think this site is the greatest. We get all our info fast and whether accurate or not we get it immediatley, so we can research more in depth to protect our furkids. |
