my dogs " poison " no wonder dogs and <BR>cats get
cancer and liver disease ! but I know heartworm is much
worse. <BR>nothing like being between a rock and a hard
place.</FONT><BR></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Baltimore color=#800000>Sorry but I think Caner is much worse
then heartworm. And there is no law that says you have to
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Baltimore color=#800000>get the prevention from your vet or use
what he recommends.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Baltimore color=#800000>Where do you live? Around
here It isn't consistently warm enough at night for mosquitoes until June.
And generally done with the horrid things by October.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Baltimore color=#800000>Are your dogs left out all the
time.? Are they out when mosquitoes are most
active,? Do you have a lot of standing water?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Baltimore color=#800000></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Baltimore color=#800000>I haven't used internal or external
poisons on my dogs (for either fleas or mosquitoes) in 20 years. I have
never had a positive heartworm test or more then an occasional
flea.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Baltimore color=#800000>Have you read up on how hard it is for a
dog to get Heartworms?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Baltimore color=#800000></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Baltimore color=#800000>There are natural means of controlling
pests that are far safer for your dogs.</FONT></DIV>
