We always tell our puppy buyers not to use products ending in 'ectin' especially heartworm treatments. We only suggest using Sentinel Spectrum or Interceptor Spectrum. Then I get an email from one puppy buyer who's vet said 'no you can give them the yearly proheart injection'. Fortunately I pumped it into her brain enough that she said 'no her breeder said never to give it to her and I won't'. The vet even called the proheart company and they said it was ok to give to shelties at 12 weeks with her vaccination! :D What hope do we have! Then I told her to google the proheart injection to find out all the other negative things about it. I think I may have scared her But it was for the puppies own good.

Hope everyone is feeling well again soon OBS. Poor babies.

RIP Gypsy Girl Thinking of you on this horrible day Jackie Jonene, Thelma & all our Furkids

RIP little bi girl Jonene

Interceptor Spectrum here (which is the same as Sentinel minus the flea protection). I prefer to flea mine seperately as we don't get fleas here so they don't get monthly.

RIP little man Jonene

Rip little Cara ;) Jonene

Rip little man. May you be pain free now Jonene

Poor Marika, RIP little sheltie girl Jonene

Looking at an AVA calender we have on our wall at work (no not a vets) Pro Heart SR12 is now recommending 1 treatment 12 weeks, 1 treatment at 6 months, again at 15 months and annually thereafter That's if your dog does't die first from all the chemicals that have been injected into it. It also says 'use a dose rate based on the dogs body weight at the time of treatment. Personally I would never use Proheart Injections again from all the bad write-ups on it. Plus it contains Ivermectin which shelties can be allergic to. We use Interceptor. No Ivermectin. Jonene

We use the livamol on our shelties (1tspn) and find it works well. Can also apparently bring out the red in their coats so I've been told and not so good on black coats. Ours are sable so it doesn't matter. Jonene
