Hello all!


Got an interesting little note from our veterinarian
yesterday admonishing us to switch from the heart guard
we've been using to a new product, which supposedly does
flea control, supplanting the Front line for that purpose.
ONly trouble is, for those of us who are rural, or semi
rural is that it doesn't do tick  control.

tHey say in this little note:  "We have had an unacceptable
number of dogs test positive for heartworm that have been on pone of the
preventatives listed ... "

OF course heart guard is listed.

When querying our vet's office about this yesterday, we were told the following:

IF we were to switch to this new formulation we could remain on our monthly
regimen.  HOwever, we'd still need to treat
with the frontline for tick control.

HOwever, if we don't switch then we should go to an every
twenty days cycle for the heart guard.

Anybody else hearing this?



Regards,
           Richard
