Oh wow that stinks! I'll have to tell my mom about that, that's what she uses! I know they also have a shortage of Immiticide...the treatment for adult heartworms. We got a fax about it a little while back about it. Everyone keep up to date on heartworm prevention!

That's a bummer.
Miss Molly has been on Trifexis but it makes her throw up and it's hard to get her to take the pill. I have to grind it up and mix it with something else like cat food. She just ran out and I was hoping to get her switched to Sentinal.
I do not want to give it to her again.

Maybelline takes Sentinal and has a few months left.

Thankful that heart work is so rare in our area, our vet doesn't recommend preventative treatment.

Wow thanks for the heads up. I am in good shape for 6 months but am going to the vet Friday for a recheck on Cyra's leg so........hopefully I can stock up some.

Trifexis is what my dogs are on as well. We tell clients at my work whose dogs throw up from it to split it up in two doses and always give it with food. You can give your dog 1/2 in the am and 1/2 in the pm. Also, the rep told us that if they throw it up within the hour, to have the clients bring it back and they will reimburse you. Or, if they've had it in them for over an hour and then throw it up, they already got the medicine they needed from it. Usually after 2-3 months, most dogs that got sick in the first place stop getting sick. Thankfully mine have never had an issue.

It's a great product since it has the flea meds in it as well. Also, for dogs who have a beef allergy since its based off of pork.
