Bullbreedlover Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 The big furkids are on Proheart once a month heartworm tablets. The bubba is on interceptor once a month tablet which covers heartworm, tapeworm etc etc. She was wormed on the 1st of November so will need to do her again soon. Now Maggie is over 20 kgs but will reach at least 50 kgs when adult. I would like to change to her to Proheart and then middle of the month do her other worming. What should I be looking at getting for her. The big fella has Proheart yellow cause he is well over 46 kgs. The other girls have Proheart red cause they are steady on 45kgs. Would I start her on Proheart red first? Until she reaches 45 kgs which wont be for quite awhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah8 Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 have you thought about proheart injection? its the same brand but just an injection that is given once a year, im pretty sure it works out cheaper for such big dogs then you can just give them an allwormer (tummy wormer) tablet every 3 months, you could start them all at the same time, how old is Maggie now?

Bundyburger Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 Injection isn't recommended until the dog is at least 1yr according to my vets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvsdogs Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 Injection isn't recommended until the dog is at least 1yr according to my vets. I wouldn't give my dog's the injection not matter how old. It's been banned in the US & they only used the prohart 6 mth. I believe they get a massive dose of the stuff which wanes over the months. I would give the dose appropriate for the size. When she grows you could give 2 tabs of the red if you have any left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aziah Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 Injection isn't recommended until the dog is at least 1yr according to my vets. Though it's not something I'd ever use myself you can now get a 6 month injection for young puppies... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormie Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 True that the company says its safe to give the injection from 6months. But, I wouldn't touch the injection if you paid me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too many stories of bad reactions. I'd not use Revolution for the same reason, even if I don't have Ivermectin sensitive breeds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't do injections either, would never touch them...nor do I do monthly, it's daily here. Edited November 26, 2009 by Aziah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullbreedlover Posted November 26, 2009 Author Share Posted November 26, 2009 Thanks everyone There is something about the yearly injection that I just dont like. Would rather do monthly. I think I am going to stick with the Proheart and then do their advantix in the middle of the month of having their heartworm. Will have to take her for a weigh in.
