Re: [pyrnet] Health: De-worming / Preventatives

Hi Dena,

If I remember correctly Interceptor doesn't get tapes, it does get hooks,
rounds, whips, and prevents heartworms. How many dogs do you have? The least
expensive heartworm preventative I know of is ivermectin. We've used it for
8 yrs, since we usually have 6-10 dogs it would be too expensive to use
Interceptor or Heartguard. However, it doesn't treat any of the other worms
in the small doses we give for heartworm prevention. If you have multiple
dogs and need more info let me know.
