Dittos on the STOP vaccinating! Except for the required rabbies vax.

Panacur is a great intestinal worm dewormer, and does not cover heartworms. Someone recommended using every three months, but worm lifecycle is more freequent than that so you may want to use more often if your area has a problem with worms and the dog can tolerate it.

Your vet probably won’t like that you’re not doing yearly vaccines, if you choose to go that route. Most people “forget” to take their dog in for a yearly exam if they don’t vax yearly, and the vet loses quite a bit of money lost.

The Tri-Heart works good for her on Heart Worms prevention and on most of the other more common worms. She's never shown any issues. It's a must do here. My dad lost a real good Boxer to Heart Worms and it cost him a small fortune trying to save him.
