IVM as replacement for heart worm medicine - what a fantastic idea! Thank you! Plus we know better what’s going into our pets. I have no doubt that the practice of veterinary medicine has been co-opted along with the practice of human medicine. I’ve been wondering if they’re slipping anything into my dogs that I wouldn’t agree to if I knew.

Personally, I’ve also stopped all doggie vax...no more rabies shot.
Don’t even get me started on the “dog license” tag required by the county. It’s not a license. It’s a tax.
My dogs have been taking plain IVM for dogs for years. It’s pure IVM without any of the junk they like to push. I get it at CanadaVet. It’s a fraction of the cost of what you get at the Vet if you can get it. My Vet doesn’t even sell it. The IVM I get at CanadaVet is generic Heartgard IVM without the Plus. You don’t have to guess at the dosage like you would if you gave them the horse paste. I have small dogs and it would be difficult to get the dosage right.

Probably not since they charge for everything lol.
I rarely vaccinate my dogs. Might do rabies again, might not. My cats get their first few shots.. then nada for the rest of their lives since they are indoors.
I do use Revolution on everyone (ha, “everyone” like they are human). I get it from Australia and now there’s a generic! I haven’t used it yet. Just got it.
We’ve used Ivermecton for both dogs and cats for years. We buy the bovine at Tractor Supply and do the math by weight for the much smaller animals. The large dogs get a shot and the small dogs and cats get the liquid with food or treats. Once a month and no fleas, ticks or worms.
