Hi, erm, this is just my personal experience and piece of mind. Actually i just get to know about the Heartgard prevention medicine recent years. So now, i'm feeding all my doggies with heartgard monthly, because i think it would be safer than injection and i cant pay for so many of them at 1 go. Even thou having all of them to have it is really costly for me, but then thinking of the consequence of "not giving", i choose to cut down my spending on comic, novel and food. Because i could not bare seeing another dying of heartworm again... My family had many dogs since i was little, dad always take in stray dogs then have kids and on+++. And once in a while, a few of them will just suddenly die, either vomit blood or become restless and die slowy. Parents often say they had too much heartworms, but i never really knew what it was just that its deadly. I though it was incureable and cant be prevented back then. oh well, i was just a kid. A few year back, my dad brough back a pup about 3/4 mths old. Its a crossed, very beautiful, active and Extremely Obidient. But he was only with us for 2weeks. He started to be tired, cant eat, kept laying there for a few days, then he left. The vet said it was too late. He probably got infected when he was on stray at the market place, unclean food or bites. Its really sad to see them suffer, looking at me with their innocent eyes asking for help yet i could not do a thing at all. So for pet owners, if you can afford it and do care for you lad or want it to be with you for not just a year or two, then why not. Because if not, by then time you find your lad is infected... its already too late. Chances of getting it? Vets always say they mainly come from mosquito, and mosquito is everywhere so i have no idea how to rate it. And i think hygiene and cleanliness count too. kk, gl www.wretch.cc/album/LilLiFashion
