It is funny that I came across this post. I have been having trouble considering starting my puppy on a heartworm medication. The reason is because I am afraid this will have a larger negative impact on my puppy than a positive impact. This feeling is based on my experience with antibiotics and the fact that once your body (or bacteria) because immune to the medication, you will either need to up the dose or switch medications. I just feel this will happen to my buddy.

Can you link or add more info that maybe able to help me decide?

Thanks,

Kalman
