I was wondering if everyone gives their dogs a deworming pill every month? Our Vet suggested it. I was also reading The BARF Diet by Dr. Ian Billinghurst and he says if you feed the BARF diet that you do not need to use deworming pills or flea repellent. Is this true??? Thanks.

I give a heartworm pill (Interceptor) that is supposed to help with other worms...but not a worming pill like...I can't think of a wormer! Albon? Whatever-anyway-could that be what he/she meant?

Yes it is Interceptor. Do you give it every month?

Here in Florida I give the Hooligans Interceptor pills every month, 12 months a year. I know some folks live in areas where they give HW pills every month except during the cold winter months. You should ask your vet about what protocal you should follow for your area.

Does anybody know if you feed RAW or a BARF diet if you still need to give them it? I read that somewhere.

Feeding raw, or any other kind of diet, is not going to prevent a dog from getting heartworm, so, yes, you still need to give it.
