Heartworm meds can give dog owners a false sense of security. 🚫

Here’s the truth most people don’t hear:

🐾 Mosquitoes are becoming resistant to heartworm drugs, so dogs can still get heartworm even if they’re on meds.
🐾 These drugs don’t prevent heartworm — they kill larvae already in your dog. And if the worms are adults? They won’t work.
🐾 They're neurotoxic — meaning they attack the nervous system. That’s why many dogs develop scary side effects like vomiting, seizures, tremors ... even death. 💔

Instead of giving your pup a toxic drug for something he probably doesn’t have, ask your vet for a microfilariae test to check for heartworms first.

Better yet? Support his immune system naturally and use safe, chemical-free pest repellents to keep those mosquitoes away. 🦟✨

And before you even worry about heartworm, check if it’s common in your area! You might find there’s no reason to panic at all.

DO YOU KNOW WHAT SIGNS OF HARMFUL REACTIONS😿🚑 TO WATCH FOR WHEN USING FLEA & TICK CHEMICALS ON YOUR PET?💊💦

As warmer weather approaches,☀️ it’s time to start thinking about protecting your pet from fleas, ticks, and even heartworm.🦟 When pet owners reach for those flea and tick treatments—whether chewables, spot-ons, or other parasiticide products—many don’t realize that adverse reactions can occur.

That’s why it’s crucial to know the signs and symptoms to look for so you can report any concerns to your veterinarian promptly.
The challenge is that different flea and tick treatments use various chemicals, each with its own potential side effects. For example, isoxazoline, a common insecticide, is highly lipophilic and easily absorbed by the body. It’s been known to cause a range of reactions, including seizures, behavior changes, gastrointestinal issues, and more.

These type of reactions can even happen in humans if ingested as a 2-year-old boy (12 kg), the son of a veterinarian, ingested two chewable tablets💊 and developed an unsteady gait🫨 approximately 50 minutes later. By 2 hours after ingestion, he had ataxia, tremor, confusion and hallucinations. He was sedated with midazolam, and 10 hours after ingestion was only minimally ataxic.

According to a recent study published in Vet Record, “The true incidence of neurological adverse effects from isoxazolines remains unclear. The delay between the administration and onset of signs can be long, and the association may be missed. A lack of timing information in the summary of product characteristics could also contribute to missed attribution of adverse effects.”

This Sunday on the Inside Scoop, we’re kicking off a Flea & Tick Prevention Series with must-know tips on both chemical and natural prevention options. Whether you’re looking for safer chemical solutions or effective natural remedies, our experts will guide you in making the best choices for your pet’s health.

Early exposure matters

It’s so disappointing in this day to hear that the advice of “keeping puppies home until their last vaccination” is still being given.

🤢 There is enough information out there to show that this is heavily damaging for a dogs mental health and you can safely expose your pup without added risk of disease.

👎 I’m telling you now if anyone gives you this advice , they are either very ill advised or deliberately not acting in the best interest of your dog. Either way you don’t want them advising you.

You have a limited time frame to get a lot of work done to try and build the most confident dog you can.

⚠️More dogs die each year from behaviour related issues than disease from early and safe exposure.

Don’t make the mistake of keeping your puppy locked away in the most valuable time you have.

"It turns out that pets also have last wills before they die, but only known to vets who put old and sick animals to sleep." Twitter user Jesse Dietrich asked a vet what the hardest part of his job was.
The specialist replied without hesitation that the hardest thing for him was seeing how old or sick animals look for their owners before they fall asleep. The fact is 90% of owners don't want to be in a room with a dying animal. People leave so they don't see their animals leave. But they don't realize it's in these last moments of life that their animal needs them the most.
Vets are asking owners to stay close to animals until the end. "It is inevitable that they die before you. Remember that you were the center of their lives. Maybe they were just a part of you. But they are also your family. Even if it's hard, don't give up on them.
Don't let them die in a room with a stranger in a place they don't like. It's very painful for vets to see how pets can't find their owner in the last minutes of their lives. They don't understand why their master left them. After all, they needed the consolation of their master.
Veterinarians do their best to make animals not so scared, but they are totally strangers to them. Don't be a coward because it's too painful for you. Think about the animal. Endure that pain for them. Be with them until the end.💞🙏
