Thanks Renee that's a very interesting link and nicely sums up what I've been reading on various links for the last several years! I posted the link on my FB page and immediately got a bunch of responses that show how brainwashed people have become. For most of the responses, it's obvious the article wasn't read. And the most vocal have been people who didn't read the article AND work at a vet's office. The link is certainly fueling some discussion! --Regina 2 GSDs and one permanently visiting papillon On Tue, Mar 2, 2010 at 9:18 AM, Renee Lustig <reneeannl50401@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Every year I try to keep up on any changes in the heartworm medications, > warnings, recommended uses.
