My sister has 50+ foxhounds and gives them sheep Ivermectin for heartworms. It is very cheap, and there are a couple of websites explaining how to dose it.


I've been using the Ivermectin (sheep drench) for years now. One bottle from Tractor Supply, $35, .3cc, once a month (mixed in a treat). One bottle would treat several dogs for several years.

Buying them from the vet is literally the only non-shady way to buy them only now they charge as much for a pill as it used to be for an entire box


disagree. Look up Valley Vet Supply. They offer these meds. Get the scrip from your DVM and order it from them. Or tell your DVM to price match.

The vet doesn't set the cost on the drugs. Again, its not the vets fault that Heartgard costs are higher than you think they should be.
