If you treat your dog with Ivomectin you won't have to worry about heart worms. I have outside dogs that have never had one single heart worm pill. I give them a dose of Ivomectin every few months and they test negative for heart worms.


Curt Ladner that is the son of the man that started the Ladner BMC line give his dogs the same treatment and never has problem with heart worms. He uses the paste I use liquid.
