RW> Got an interesting little note from our veterinarian
RW> yesterday admonishing us to switch from the heart guard
RW> we've been using to a new product, which supposedly does
RW> flea control, supplanting the Front line for that purpose.
RW> ONly trouble is, for those of us who are rural, or semi
RW> rural is that it doesn't do tick  control.
 
RW> tHey say in this little note:  "We have had an unacceptable
RW> number of dogs test positive for heartworm that have been on pone of the
RW> preventatives listed ... "
 
RW> OF course heart guard is listed.
 
RW> When querying our vet's office about this yesterday, we were told the
RW> following:
 
RW> IF we were to switch to this new formulation we could remain on our
RW> monthly regimen.  HOwever, we'd still need to treat
RW> with the frontline for tick control.
 
RW> HOwever, if we don't switch then we should go to an every
RW> twenty days cycle for the heart guard.
 
RW> Anybody else hearing this?
 
Not me and we have three different veterinary doctors from three different
hospitals taking care of our dogs at one time or another.
