Use drugs according to your dog’s habits
There are various types of drugs There are more and more pet products, which is both a good thing and an annoying thing for us. The good thing is that it gives us more choices, and the bad thing is that it gives us more choices. The adoption has made some partners who have difficulty in adoption too entangled. The same is true for drugs, and it is not easy to choose a suitable dog heartworm drug.
Presumably many pet owners will be confused when faced with a variety of pet products, pet foods and pet parasite prevention prescriptions for the first time. The most rare thing is that there are many brands of the same product, and there are some small differences between each brand. An extreme example is heartworm and flea preventatives for pets. The re-invitation has a wide range of functions, that is, preventing fleas and heartworms. However, each product’s usage, ingredients, and other parasites it prevents are also unique. Moreover, user reviews have mixed reviews, which makes us even more confused when it comes to choosing.
Why are there so many choices?
The reason why there are so many choices and mixed reviews is that the variety of pet dogs leads to huge differences between individuals. Such huge individual differences can be said to be unique among mammals. Therefore, this also brings great difficulty to the research and development of pet products, pet food and pet parasite prevention prescriptions. Non-compliance, allergies and inefficiencies are often unavoidable. Different options give pets who are allergic to a certain prescription more options.
Currently, the prevention prescriptions for heartworms and fleas in pet dogs mainly include the following categories: drops, oral tablets, and oral tablets. Necklaces, injections (canine heartworm).
1. Drops
It is relatively simple to use. Pluck the hair, and then drop it on the dog's skin, usually on the dog's neck. It may be simpler than taking medicine, but the part of surface drops involved in body metabolism may be quite similar.There are relatively few treatments (except for Revolution and Advantage Mult, which need to be added to the blood to kill heartworm larvae).
2. Oral tablets
can maintain the durability of the drug and have similar efficacy It's better, but it may be troublesome to feed, and some dogs are very resistant to medicine.
3. Necklace
The effectiveness will be much longer than that of drops and oral tablets . Some people say that the counter-efficiency may be relatively large, but there is no accurate data yet.
The amount of drug used is closely related to body weight
4. Injections
Good efficacy and long-term effectiveness. Possible side effects include potential allergic reactions to vaccines, and are generally inconvenient to use by yourself.
So we may wish to follow some of the following principles when choosing preventive medicine suitable for our pets:
1. This kind of preventive medicine does not have serious side effects on pets (but this needs to be considered on an individual basis). Therefore, it is not recommended to buy a lot for the first time.
2. Choose one that is in line with the usage habits of pets and owners. For example, if a dog is very conflicted with tablets, then use drops or other methods.
3. Choose according to the parasites that need to be prevented. Heartworms must be avoided first because it is difficult to adjust once the symptoms are felt. Pets that go outdoors need to be protected against ticks.
4. Don’t buy too much at once during the dog’s growth stage, because the use of drugs is closely related to the dog’s weight.
