We use Heartguard. I know that it works by killing the heartworm larvae, but I wasn't aware it killed other parasitic spp.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10951951949110129746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10715455.post-44596779192074169712008-05-14T10:36:00.000-05:002008-05-14T10:36:00.000-05:00Way to go, Jenn!

You are so good at explaining things in a way they can understand without being condescending like so many doctors.Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02700753775821511580noreply@blogger.com
