[Dailydrool] HW Meds

[Bassetmomof2 at aol.com]

Our vet requires a HW test every year regardless of where we buy the  
Heartguard.  We used to get it from Fosters and Smith and then were told  that 
Heartguard wouldn't cover treatment if the dog developed HW unless it was  purchased 
through our vet.  So we went back to the vet.  The vet costs  a little more 
but worth the guarantee.  It does chap my buns that they  require the HW test 
even though I've obviously bought HW meds their entire lives  for each dog.    

I'd be happy with a test every two years.  I have heard that  regardless of 
meds some dogs have developed HW - that's why my vet insists on  the test every 
year.  We specifically had a couple cases with dogs that  were given the 
generic HW treatment.
 
I'm curious to know what the Drool experts experience.
 
Helene, Freddie and Ellie
