Heartgaurd getting sued?
If I'm reading this right, this isn't good.

Hmm. Its almost the same as some vaccines. I know the feline Leukemia vaccine is only 85% effective, if exposed. Your feline is not completely safe, but its better than nothing. Like most drugs, not everything is 100% effective. It is horrible to hear this, but at least it explains why some dogs and cats that have been on preventatives still contract heartworms.

I always have had my GSDs on Sentinel. One died on cancer at age 10 and the other died of stroke and blood clot at 8 but they were never positive for heart worm. I think I will stick with Sentinel when I get another GSD.

I know not all meds can have a 100% success rate, but only 80%? My pup had parvo after being vaccinated, so I know it can happen.
I've used Interceptor at first, but switched to Trifexis in the last two months, never used Heartgaurd, and now, I don't think I will. Hopefully everything will follow through, to find if it is actually true or not. |
