None? Are you blind?

It attempted to gain authenticity from the perdue university site but
epically fails at it. You don't even 'get it' that the every 6 month
type medication is not at all the same as the one used monthly.


You are the one that doesn't get it. I never mentioned a 6 month
medication. I wasn't talking about a 6 month medication at any time. I
discussed testing for heartworms at 6 month intervals. That was it.
There was no "medication" at all, as if calling heartworm poisons were
medications to begin with, which they aren't.

It's a megadose type that should be outlawed from what little I have
seen on it (which is not much).


So should your brain for not seeing the forest for the trees.

Default Interceptor vs. Heartgard

Wild dogs/wolves rarely live very long. Heartworm is just a portion of
it but a debilitating one.


The number one killer of wolves is humans. In the wild a wolf can live
up to 13 years or more, in a protected wolf park or a controlled area of
land, a wolf can live to be up to 16 years old. That's not much
different that the lifespan of a dog of the same size.


The dog that 'cant run as fast as the others' an dall of the entailed
items is related.


What the hell does that say? Never mind....

Company claims 100%
effective against heartworm.... but it's probably only 95-98% effective,
according to those studies cited by the employee.

Interceptor also knocks out more intestinal parasites than Heartgard, if
memory serves me right.... one more.... it gets the hookworms (a common
problem in the Deep South). My vets switched to Interceptor several
years ago, based on that hookworm issue.

My friend uses interceptor rather than Heartgard in preventing heartworms.
She says that it's more effective.
