Which Heartworm Medicine Should I Choose?

May 24, 2010

There is a large range of cheap heartworm medicine options for us to choose from. Deciding which one to buy will depend on a number of things, including price.

We are able to buy relatively cheap Heartgard for Dogs but there are also other options. If price is the main concern then we can buy a generic. The generics are very affordable and many are available for under $20 for a six month supply. This is perfect for those on a very strict budget.

Our other options are to buy combination treatments. Many pet owners currently use one form of flea treatment or another. We can cut down on costs and also on the amount of medications that we currently use by combining a flea treatment and a heartworm medicine. What we will find is that we can buy brands like Revolution or Advantage multi.

These are both very comprehensive meds that will treat for fleas and heartworms in one go. We apply then externally to the skin on the back of our pets. Just like we would apply frontline. What we will find is that they are very affordable, usually the same price as just the flea medicine. This gives much better protection to our pets and will allow us to care for them at a low cost and also with a minimum of monthly hassle.

More and more pet owners are now deciding that this is by far the best route to take, and the fact that these brands are known to be very mild on our pets with a very low risk of any side effects at all makes them the best possible choice if fleas are of any concern at all.

So, the best heartworm medicine to use will depend on the amount of funds available and also if you wish to combine the treatment with flea prevention, which is usually a problem for many animals.
