If your dog doesn't take the Sentinel or Heartguard pills every month, it probably has heartworms. I've had people tell me that they don't worry about heartworms because they don't have mosquitoes in their yard. Jeez!! Mosquitoes are everywhere. And it only takes one. Heartworm medication is expensive, but if you care about your dog or cat, (yes, cat's can get heartworms too) giving them the monthly pills is one of the most important things you can do to keep them healthy.John Sealanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02274175002075606971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3606077175041733164.post-43328503473386997212010-09-27T09:29:30.616-05:002010-09-27T09:29:30.616-05:00Sounds like a great day!
