Yes - 0 No - 0 Report. I was very hesitant to buy these for my pup because she would not eat the heart worm chewables that I previously bought no matter what I did. I broke them up and put it in all kinds of different foods and eventually I had to throw out two of them after putting them in her wet food, not to mention she didn't get her dose for the month.
She literally got mad at me and ran from me and now won't eat wet food because she thinks it has the medicine in it! When my vet recommended these I looked for the pill form which would at least be easier to shove down her throat nicely of course I found that it is next to impossible to find any in pill form. I finally decided I had to buy these. I decided the best way to "trick" her was to break it up and give it to her while at the park as a treat and it worked like a charm!
I think she may have even eaten it without tricking her honestly, I may try that next month. I am so relieved that she took the medication, she was already a month behind.
I've been using Heartgard Plus for my dogs for many years and have been very comfortable knowing that they are protected.
I only have one dog now, and she's 13 yrs. Highly recommended. I have used it for years and I have had no issues with my doggies. I hope they continue to be good quality; and the formula isn't changed to try to save money for the manufacturers and our doggie's health is compromised. So far 1 dog has been declined, Because he was not tested last year, the other 2 were test last year and were negative.
I will be changing brands for sure. I will change my review after I find out if they are covering the other 2 dogs. Yes - 2 No - 2 Report. I ordered online and had an old prescription that wouldn't work.
Petmeds quickly worked with me to fix my problem and get the Heartgard to me without delay. I have an old dog without many teeth and she is able to easily chew and swallow these soft meds.
