There is something negative said about everything. In reality, it has been reported..it takes 8 months for microfilaria(heartworm larvae) to become an adult heartworm. I believe the more important points are....make sure the dose is correct per dog's weight & make sure the full dose is ingested.
I use Ivomec...which is also used in beef and swine for worming. If it was so bad, it wouldn't still be used on market animals.

Do not assume because your dog is on HW preventative, that it works! You still have to test.
Anecdotally, my dogs were kept right next to dogs who tested positive for several months. They're FINE. All of them. No preventative. I waited a year to have them tested just to make sure there was enough time for it to show up. Must be just luck.

The company I get mine from is based in Australia and their price is CHEAP, since they are not in the USA they do not require a prescription... I dont care about that I just like the CHEAP PRICE..

I use the Ivemec also (Ivermectin) 1% solution
Make sure you buy only Ivemec and not the one with the added ingredient as is not for use in dogs..and can be dangerous
I have never used anything else , or ever sold a dog with heartworms.
I do not use it every month, I skip a month or do it every 50 days...
That is my preference as this drug stays in the blood stream a long time
My vet approves my use and also has prescribed it for Scabies in pups like the early measles, and also RED MANGE
My vet has given me the correct dosage and I always do the lesser end of measurement'
Ivemec is a very strong drug but very effective and I have used it for 20 yrs
yr
