My wife always brought our two dogs to the vet, until I found out how expensive it was. $30/dog once per year for the shot, then $200 every 6 months for the pills (they do keep fleas off too). Gotta be something I can get cheaper at the feed store, right?

I have never had any issues using this stuff. If you keep them off your dogs and keep other mutts away the fleas living around there will leave for greener pastures.

I was told go get a basic GI dewormer as well and by the time I bought both, it was almost as cheap to buy the generic heartgaurd plus. Prob was now I had to give my stubborn arse dogs two things a month. This post was edited on 11/14 at 11:05 am
