Tri-Heart is generic Heartgard and is just as effective. I am not sure why your vet won't prescribe it for you. You cannot buy any heartworm prevention over the counter so you will need a prescription. I suggest you bring your dog to one of the VETCO vaccine clinics at your local Petco stores (see schedule below). Bring proof of his last negative heartworm test and they can give you a prescription for the Tri-Heart. There is no charge for the exam. Just the cost of the medication. Hope this helps!

Hi there. If you're asking about Tri-Heart Plus and Credelio, yes - it's fine to use these two medications together. I am not aware of any pet medication called "Credulity," so if you meant something else, please post again with the exact name of the medication.

Great question! There are so many products it can be hard to navigate. If you are already using advantage multi for fleas and heart worm prevention there are several options you could add in for tick control. If you like collars you could try the Preventic collar (different ingredients than seresto). https://m.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?pcatid=1254 Alternatively you could discuss using one of the oral flea and tick preventatives (nexgard or simparica) staggered 2 weeks from the advantage multi. https://m.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?c=9547+29385+28648&pcatid=28648

Some veterinarians treat heart worms with a slow kill method by giving heartworm prevention monthly which will kill the adult worms over time and prevent new ones. The more common treatment is with injections to kill the worms quickly. Both methods have advantages and disadvantages. Doing it with a slow kill method is much less expensive. The shots are expensive, can be painful and you would need to keep your dog very quiet for six weeks. Thanks for using Boop by Petco to help you care for Duke.
