Heartworm meds and/or Flea/tick treatments......

[Nebraska]

If you're using Hartguard and/or Frontline Plus, where is the best place to pick up a 6 month or year supply?

Also, if you're not using one or either of those, what are you using and why and where's the best place to get it??

Thanks....

Use I-vomec for heartworm protection; and bath dog with Dawn dish washing soap for flees.

I'll make sure to check out I-vomec but what's the deal with bathing your dog in Dawn?!?! I've never heard of anything like that.....

Thanks for the input so far!!

How do you go about acquiring and administering Ivomec?

[Meller]

Depends on which I-vomec you get , if you get the liquid you just squirt in thier mouth, if you get the paste, just rub it on the tounge; I guess both are given orally. What ever you do don't give I-vomec plus.
As far as Dawn dish soap; I read that on a forum ( don't remember where)tryed it and it works for me, killed the flees and bath every now and then seems to keep them away, don't really have a tecnical explainationas to why.

I get Frontline Plus at a local independent pet store for almost cost. I use Heartguard and get that from my vet.

K9 Advantix (fleas, ticks & mosquitoes) we get from whichever online source is cheapest. Heartguard we're still buying from the vet because once you add in the shipping & tax for most onine sites, his price is competitive.
