Go to ebay. I got a years supply of frontline for flea and tick control for my dog for what I paid the vet for a month.

I get prescriptions from the vet & order my dog meds. online. They are at least 1/3 cheaper for the name brands and even cheaper for generics. Usually you can get free shipping too.
I have a young Sheltie that I recently got from an owner that did not provide heartworm prevention. I do not actually know if Blue has heartworms or not, but need a less expensive preventive treatment than the vet offers. Are any of you pet owners feeling the same crunch financially, but do not want our pet family to suffer neglect? I am interested in home remedies and prevention of heartworms. Thanks to all who respond.

What the Vet won't tell you about heart worm prevention: This will only work if your dog is known to be free of heartworms. You can give Heartguard every 60-90 days instead of once a month if you are struggling financially, and keep your dog heart worm free. Due to the life cycle of a heartworm, it takes 90 days for it to become an adult and Heartguard has a back kill component. It must be the Merck Heartguard brand or this will not work. I worked at an animal hospital in Houston for 5 years and this is how the knowledge was acquired. The Dr will not voluntarily give out this information because it would result in a loss in revenue for the animal hospital.
