Knowing we have many pet owners here I was curious as to what you use to prevent heartworm and parasites,,,,,have a few friends who use an all in one called Trifexis. Have a new family member arriving tomorrow from overseas

    Interesting. Please tell us more how this came to be.

    My advice AFA heartworm, don't mess around. I'll ask my wife
    what she uses and report back.

    I order Nextgard spectra from Australia it does about any parasite that bites with the exception of tapeworms.
    Once a month and for your size dog a 12month supply is $200. It takes about a month to ship to the USA.

    I've also used Revolution. It goes on the back between the shoulder blades.
    It just does the heartworm.

    **Edit
    The reason I order it from Australia is
    1. No need for a prescription from the vet.
    2. It's half the cost than if purchased in the US

    Either way you MUST have your dog tested once a year!!
