The flea drops are monthly and kill flea larvae much as the heart worm pills do. Dogs are more treatable than cats for a wide variety of maladies, is my impression, particularly cancer. That leads to more trips to the vet, and unlike cats who are very traumatized, have to be caged to get them there and sedated once there, dogs are good sports about it for the most part, they’re agreeable and their physiology is similar enough to humans that oftentimes the same cancer protocols work for them. Well, actually it’s the other way around, many if not most cancer protocols in use today came up through canine veterinary trials before ever being tested on people.
to sum up, cats are evil, dogs are good. I’ll buy that for a buck heh.
You sure are right about cats going to the vet, my old cat Normy could NOT be gotten out of his carrier at the vets, even when they brought the really big tech in, the guy who is there to deal with great danes couldn’t get that cat of the box. He would then get a nice little shot and in a few minutes he was good to go!
