Which product are you speaking of? Yes manufacturers are out to seek their product no doubt about that, however heart worm disease is real and while not a huge problem it can and does happen, heart worm is carried by the mosquito (and yes they exist in The Villages) if your dog contracts it it can kill them and treatment to hopefully save them costs hundreds of dollars. I have seen a number of cases in my 13+ years working part time in a Vet. Ofc. I for one prefer to do what I can to keep my pet as safe as I can.
