My mums was in vets this week and she asked vet about heart worms. (especially as we live on South coast and ment to be in this area???) He told her that worming with Drontal will prevent heart worms

i worm with that but doesnt help that im aware of, i spoke to my vet today and they have advised me to buy milbermax i think its called, thats a wormer that does protect against, i even check it on the interenet lol

As for heartworms...i only thort that was an american thing in dogs i always watch the animal cops houston...and phenix....misconsin ect...lots of the ill treated dogs seem to come in wiv that condition and it can be very fatal if left untreated or even halfway thro the stages....terrible thing for a dog to ave and scary that its ova here
