Colliewood Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 Hi all, Is anyone using the Dimmitrol daily tablets for Heartworm with their dogs? I have Collie type dogs and am looking at the tablet that does NOT contain any mectin products. Many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jed Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 I used to use it years ago - for about 20 years. It definitely works, and does not cause the problems some other treatments for heartworm cause. Use it with confidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Border Collies have been on Interceptor/Milbemax for 20 years with no problems but BCs are far less likely to have the MDR1 gene that Collies who need to be tested. We all used to use dimmitrol for many years before the monthly tablets came out. They do work but you have to be very careful not to miss one.
