Re: Heartworm Medicine

Heartworm prevention is usually in the form of a monthly chewable tablet not vaccination. Heartguard Plus is one brand that comes to mind. If you have multiple dogs many on here will give Ivermectin 1% which is the same main ingredient as Heartguard but is a liquid form that is sold for use on swine...

Kent and Hubbard feeds, makers of Kinetic are not affiliated in any way.

Kinetic is not some revamped version of Native.

Looking for opinions, the good, the bad and the ugly if there is any.
