If you live in the midwest you should be using it all year round! I could do that no prob, but I was under the impression that it is not needed during the cold, non-mosquito months. In my area that would be roughly Oct to April. Brodie

Melissa Hoyer Webboard User Reg: 05-09-2005 Posts: 1340 Loc: SE Michigan Offline	http://www.dogaware.com/articles/wdjheartwormprevention.html Great info on preventing heartworm in the above article. I live in Michigan and give HW meds starting in the beginning of May. How long I give it into the fall depends on how warm it stays, usually October, sometimes November. Keep in mind that HW prevention meds are designed to kill young larva that has already infected your dog, so when you give a pill, it is really treating the PREVIOUS month

At least until May when the damaging Thunderstorms roll through and knock out the power. Every year I say to myself "buy that damn generator" LOL! Brodie

Getting my house cleaning done early while it is still foggy and it's going to be all about the dogs later. You are right about the T-storms, though!

Melissa Hoyer Webboard User Reg: 05-09-2005 Posts: 1340 Loc: SE Michigan Offline	I have always used Heartgard, but my vet is offering something new this year. Same stuff as Heartgard (pyrantel & ivermectin), but its called Tri-heart Plus...substantially cheaper, which is very important when I have four dogs to buy meds for!

Mara Jessup Webboard User Reg: 12-28-2005 Posts: 2316 Loc: Offline	FWIW, last year I asked my vet for a prescription so that I could buy a generic (Iverhart) from an online pharmacy. I used Valley Vet supply and was very happy with the service and cost (just over $3/pill instead of $6/pill from the vet). If I just had one dog or my vet offered a generic, I'd still buy from my vet, but with 3 dogs I was looking for a way to save some money. K-9 Knitter

Tim Curtis Webboard User Reg: 07-23-2010 Posts: 227 Loc: Midwest Offline	I pay something like $12/pill for Sentinel !! If memory serves me correctly, my vet said that I needed to use a non-Ivermectin based product like Sentinel because Ivermectin can be toxic to Collies??? I'd love to be paying < $12 per pill !
