Yes, and the moderators let your off-topic post go through also. Your original post referred to vets pushing Heartworm medicine, as if it was unnecessary. The important term you used is "pushing", which carries a negative connotation. You make reference to ticks but the Heartgard brand does not kill ticks, it is a Heartworm prevention drug. Yes, you can buy Heartworm pills for a lower cost than at a vet's office if your vet writes you a prescription after testing your dog for heartworm. I did it for years.

My dogs are on a generic heartworm med bought other than the overpriced vet location. Next time do not assume something about me , please.
