My vet also requested we did heart worm medicine in the middle of Indiana winter. You know, when it’s 30F out and 0 mosquitos. I think there is def some stretching of dangers in order to sell more foobobs.
(Same vet I asked for them to validate my RX for chewy so I could buy heartworm medicine, and they declined stating that they can’t validate the authenticity of online pharmacies so they wouldn’t do it. Pure cash grab)
- bluedevil2k 5y agoHeart worm eggs can lay dormant in the bloodstream/muscles for up to 2 years, so the monthly pills ensure that no matter when they hatch they can’t develop into the worm. Yes, your vet is only looking out for their own profit here. Find a new one.
- brianwawok 5y agoRight, but if you take monthly pills all summer - there is nothing in your bloodstream to need to worry about in the winter. And yes, we dumped that vet. Been through like 4 vets in as many years, it's wild.
