 Hi,
 I have used the ivermec for years and really think it is a good product.  It 
 will not kill tape worm, but if you have no fleas around it probably is not 
a 
 consideration anyway.
 Bio spot is a great product for fleas.  BUT, I have not had to use bio spot 
 in two years now since I have been using the ivermec.  Maybe you will find 
 the same to be true.  
 The dosage for the ivermec is .5 cc or ml (that is one half cc not five cc) 
 per every fifty pounds of dog.  It is the same as the dosage on the box for 
 cattle.  They hate the taste so a treat afterwards always helps. I use if 
 every 5 or 6 weeks.
 It also will kill mange and ear mites, but that probably doesn't matter 
 anyway to you.
 Be careful not to ever recommend this product to anyone who has a collie in 
 any way shape or form.  Shelties too.
 Lisa Cillo

   Thanks, we do have a third dog which I think is a sheltie, german shepherd 
mix "we adopted her from the shelter ".  I had once read the collie issue on 
pyrnet.  Do you know why the effect would be any different on a collie than 
any other dog?  And do you think this would be a problem with Jessie having 
at least some shetland sheepdog in her?  The ivermec is the one I was 
considering, I wasn't aware that it had any effect on fleas. The cost 
difference is overwhelming, when you think of a 12 month supply of Heartgard 
running around $100, compared to a 50 month supply of Ivermec costing only 
$37.  I live in South Alabama where fleas and ticks are common, so I think I 
would still want to use some kind of flea control.
