Did you know the original Heartguard for monthly worming was Ivermectin. Then last year they came out with Heartguard Plus which no longer had Ivermectin. All dogs will not eat the new version so it must taste bad. I bought pet ivermectin and fed that instead. Interesting that they eliminated an effective cure for heart worms just as we were learning the true power of Ivermectin.
Ivermectin comes in liquid form called Sheep Drench. A drop of this on a biscuit is all you need. There are dosing amounts online for cats and dogs, as just a tiny drop dosed my 90 lb dobie. An 8 oz bottle will run you about $45. Most dog owners I know, especially small dogs, split a bottle and the cost because so little is needed, it will expire before you can use it all. Monthly Heartguard from your vet is a racket.
This is exactly what i use for my animals too. My rabbits get mite infections every spring. A few drops in their ears and its completely cleared up and gone in 2 days
