Trifexis

Personally, I like to use the meds that have been around for a while. We use Heartgard and Frontline Plus.

What are the other pills that are recommended then?

There are safer alternatives. There are members here who's vets won't even give it to small dogs and some that refuse to sell it. Please please listen to these warnings.

The chicken jery was pulled OFF THE MARKET..not trifexis. If all the symptoms don't show up for years, who's to say that the other flea preventable meds don't do the same. In not trying to convince anyone, just ant to say do the research and choose what's best for YOUR baby. And I just pray to god I've made ghetto right decision for my baby.

The treats were not pulled until there were hundreds of deaths.
If you're comfortable with a drug that's newer then go for it. Ill stick with heartgard and frontline as I have for 14 yrs

The complaints of the chicken jerky started in 2007. Trifexis was on the news a week or two ago. I hope and pray it gets pulled it's causing way to many deaths. Sorry you don't believe us and I'm even sorry your dog will have to suffer before you will believe us. We can't force you though just give the information.

I've tried others that made my maltese vomit. But I really do value your information. Thank you

I have to agree with the comments about Trifexis. If you run a google search, the majority of reviews are negative and come from people whose dogs have died or suffered illness from it. Just because it is expensive does not make it good. It's important to protect against heartworm, but if say you have the choice between taking Advil that has been around for a long time..or a brand new brand that people have died from.. what would you take for yourself? Heartgard and sentinel are much safer alternatives that have been around for a very long time. However, at the end of the day, it's your choice and I'm sure you have the best interest of your maltese at heart.

Hannah Nicole and Lola (my Aug. 2013 rescue) are on ComboGuard. I haven't heard anything negative about this one. They all scare me but so does heartworms. I use 2 different vets for my dogs and 1 of them prefers Trifexis. Some of my dogs are on it but I am changing them over to something else when they are due for another heartworm check. I prefer the pill over the topical so that I can bath my dogs when needed. Anyone know anything about ComboGuard?
